Default window leaking

I was washing the car today and noticed that water is getting through the driver windown. It seems there's a small leak where the two rubber seals on top of the window join. I guess it's back to the dealer for another ass ripping.

maybe you don't have to go back to Honda.
sometimes it is just water pressure that is causing the leak.
Also, window without a frame is more vulnerable to leak compare to those with a frame.
i think as long as it is not leaking when raining then it is ok.

What you need is some Shin-Etsu silicone It'll soften up the rubber seals.

When it rains really hard, I get some water leak in the driver side weather strip. I never had this happen before then one day I came back to the car to find the driver seat wet. I took the weather strip apart from the soft top and could not figure out where the water was coming from, but there was lots of water in the weatherstrip.

A few months went by and this problem did not return. Weird.
