Thumbs up Water Leaking but no holes?

Water is leaking through from the top but there isn't a single hole on my top.

The water is coming from the rubber thing right above the driver side window.

It drips and when I press the rubber water gushes out. Anyone had similar problem and can help me?

yea mine does it too, but only after this shop installed a new soft top. They must have put the rubber seals back incorrectly or shifted them one way or another a little too much!

This happened to me once, only when I was driving all day in the rain though.

yup take it back to honda, mine was acting funky sometimes in really rainy conditions and when i would wash my car gently. the water would drip on my driver seat and hit my leg, but honda fixed it and its fine now, im not quite sure what they did but it worked.

Mine dripped in the exact same spot, I took it to Honda, they claimed they fixed the problem, I got the car washed, it dripped still, took it back to Honda, they tested out whether or not their newer cars ('09s) would do the same, turned out they dripped water just like my car, and the guys basically told me "tough luck".

So anyone have any idea on how to get this fixed or if theres even a replacement rubber part or something of that sort? This is bugging me I mean I do live in California and it rarely rains down here but yeah I don't feel like carrying around a towel for rainy seasons just because of this.

Maybe apply Shin-Etsu Silicone grease to prevent it from drying/shrinking.
