Default 02 Sebring Convertible Top leaking.

I just bought a 2002 Sebring convertible with 60k miles the car is really great and fun to drive but during the recent heavy rains in Atlanta I found out that my car had leaks at the top of the front windows both driver an passenger side and because of that there was water on the carpets as well as the seats were really really soaked. I would hate to sell the car for such a small but serious problem. Can anyone tell me how to fix it. All the help will be appriciated......Thanks.

My guess is;

1) replace the rubber that lines the convertible top on both sides. $300 per side at the dealer.

2) align the windows (take off door panels and adjust windows with allen wrenches and regular wrenches).

3) adjust the top (loosen the hex screws securing the hooks (if they are still there, most seem to fall out over the years), tighten the hooks in a turn or two, tighten (or replace with allen) the hex screws.

4) some combination of the above.

I suggest that you first sit inside your car while someone else sprays a hose on it for a while to locate just where the water is making its entrance and take it from there.
