Finding and fixing my leak. Pics inside!!
I had a lot of trouble finding any pics of what people were talking about as far as fixing the convertible leak so I thought I would post a couple. Hope it helps.
First remove this cloth piece. There is one torx screw holding it in place near where my thumb is.
Once that is out of the way just pop the rear well cover off of the studs where the top meets the car. Now you can see where the water is coming from.
Have someone pour water over the top so you can stay in the back seat and watch. mine was coming in in a few spots.
hope this helps. I will post some more pics tomorrow when I put a patch on it and retest it.

That is frickin awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post these pictures. I know I have been struggling with my top leaking ever since I got it but I've been way to nervous to do anything to it. Keep us posted on how your patch works out and how you did it.

Well I put my patch on. I let it dry over night and tested it, I still have a small leak at the lower tear thats up against the metal trim. It only leaked a little bit after dumping water from a 1 gallon container so at least there is a big improvement. I'll try to get some more pics up later today. Im not sure how well the patch will hold up to putting the top up and down but it will have to do for now.
