die-electric t top grease try that first. buy it at the dealer and it helps make the weather stripping get soft and seal but you amy jsut have to get weather stripping altogether

Yes mine is doing the same thing. It is just one of the many little things
wrong with my car like the driver's window motor going out,door panels cracking,and antenna motor shot. I try to ignore this stuff.

I've heard that adding weld in sub frame connectors will fix the problem right away.

I have subframes, my driver side leaks a little. Seals are dry as hell, so I know that's the problem for my car.
