You all keep your seals greased with the Shin-Etsu grease?

Mine does that, think it's pretty much the design of the top. Shine-Etsu helped a lot, now I only have that problem if the car is parked in really heavy rain.

My solution was to leave the S2000 in the garage on rainy days.

yeah, but the problem is, it never used to do this. even at the slightest drizzle now, water would leak into the car right where the top breaks in half and folds back. it happens on the driver side only though.

I have the same problem. So new OEM weather stripping is the solution right?

Wow 2 year old thread. At least people are using the search bar.

Yes the general agreement is replacing the weather stripping.
