Default Slight leak on passenger side

Hey, was out for a spin a couple days ago.. rain started coming down so i put the top up..... I stopped the car at a parking lot, and noticed that I had some dripping on the passenger side... right about in the middle of the window....

is my weatherstripping just not doing its job.. or could this be more serious? i dont really want to wait until the next rain and find that im leaking like a seive.

Convertibles are never perfect. I was caught in a hard rain and had a few drops coming inside too. Car is garage kept and basically showroom. Just make sure the seals are soft and not getting too hard. Not likely if you have it in the garage. Nature of the beast. If it is bad dripping, that is not normal and you will have to look into it further.
