Question I think it rained in my car!!!

I washed my car yesterday. I used to get some water in around the windows and all but this time was BAD! Dash, door, front and rear seats were soaked. What do I need to do? I'm guessing the seals are getting old but are they expensive to replace and where can I get them? Thanks!

thats what i would get, but if youre looking for a cheaper possible solution try this. pull up the weatherstripping and put some of that black epoxy glue around it and put the stripping back on. I know my hatch leaked but it was because the weather stripping kept wiggling loose

also. since u have ttops. u should check and see if they are fully latched. the latch into these lil plastic things. and sometimes they misaligned and such. lots of people have lost ttops that way. so maybe its a shot

get some silicon and do some water tests on it, find the leaks and seal them with the silicon, it might fix it.
