Help with water leak ...

When it rains I get water at the very top of both A-Pillars as well as the bottom .. but not really the middle so it seems as if its leaking up top behind the pillar, and then running down the back and soaking at the bottom

Anyone have an idea where the water is coming from? Everything looks like it is sealed properly

Thanks

I had a similar problem and had to take it back to MB Tampa for them to adjust the hard top...seals were fine. I've been through a couple of heavy rains (you know living in FL practically every day) and no leaks so far...!

Close to what Jon posted, I saw a tiny drip off driver "A" pillar during car wash & lil moisture in bottom back of trunk, $120 odd bux later all Bueno! they have to massage in special rubber seal treatment wish I would've known it was so minor, simple fix I'll be doing every 6 months or so, the rubber seals get dry & don't seal properly if left long enough you'll need new seals around effected area.
