CAUTION: Avoid high-pressure washes, as they can damage the top material. Also, increased water pressure may force water past the weatherstrips.
  1. Identify where the water is entering the vehicle and what environmental conditions/driving conditions they occur at.
  2. Dry off all areas and tape (1) off the vehicle, as shown, except where the water is entering (2) and retest to confirm entry.
  3. Based on where the water is entering and confirmed, diagnose the problem. See Body/Convertible Top - Diagnosis and Testing .
  4. Retest after adjustment or part replacement. If not dry go to  2. If dry continue to  5.
  5. Remove all tape from the convertible top and test for leaks. Repeat  1 if not dry.
