Default Help guys! How to fix this Problem

Hey s2ki,

I'm having an issues everytime it rains. My passenger has watter coming into the car when it rains. It is seeping through where the door meets the pilar kinda right above the side mirror. I don't know what the cause of this is and it's driving me crazy. Anybody know what i can do or is anyone having or has had this same problem please chime in. THANKS!

Is the top coming back up the right way? Perhaps your brackets aren't pulling it tight enough. You might want to check the seal and how the window rises up.

Sounds like your door seals need some attention or replacing

Check the seals is all I can think of.

Did you seal the vent behind the rear bumper? If its not that then its coming in from your soft top somewhere.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys. Aprreciate it! I will check my door seals and also my passenger side door had been replaced and I wonder if maybe its not aligned right or what and maybe that's what could be causing it to leak in. Do adjusting those little rubber grommets that you can screw in or unscrew to adjust the door hinge part cause a difference to? Maybe I can mess with that as well. Oh and 1 more thing. Do you think a hardtop would eliminate this problem all together or not since it's leaking in through where the window meets the door seal. Thanks all!


And g0g3tt4, I do have a garage to park her in when I get home, but at work it's open parking boooo.
