yes, the correct question would be - what is my top made of? Vinyl or non-vinyl? sorry... can I play my "girl" card on this one?

btw, I guess non-vinyl...

My 2009 V6 convertible leaked into the trunk as well. Found it 2 weeks after purchase and dealer said sheet metals weren't sealed properly at spot welded joints. They applied some gray silicone to the drainage well where the back window drains into and have not seen any water since. Only bad thing is the spare tire cover (particle board) is curling up now after drying.

Default Leaky

2000 GT, same leaks right at the corners of the rear window. Everyone I talked to said to fix it completely I need to replace the top. Lucky for me it sees rain nor snow anymore.

One of the downsides of convertibles is leaks as we are finding out.
