Default 2005 convertible leak

And it's not from clogged drain plus in the firewall or in the rear wheel well. I've attached a video. It would appear near where the quarter window and top meet there is a member that water carries water over. I'd find it under the rear seats sloshing around and even in the area where the top rests when it's down. Any ideas? I have not found anything close to this all over the web. Everything I've found is about the water leak attributed to clogged drains. The kind that ruins the smart junction box and soaks the carpet.

I had the same problem with a 2007 convertible. Check that the extra material from the top in pushed into the gutter. You will have to take out your back seat and get up in there to see where the material ends. I took out the seat closed everything up and had a person spread the top with water to find it. Once I did it was an easy fix.

Thanks, I feel like it's that extra material that is feeding water over from the fender side (where water is supposed to drain down) to the cabin side.
