it could be a combination of 2 things, but where my windows rolled up to meet the rubber seal it drips in a little but in the spot where the rag top meets the car itself, on both sides of the window, do you think it could be the rubber seals or the rag top wear-and-tear of the years loosened up there to allow the leak, i'm gettin a new top soon anyway, but while thats getting done, do they sell the rubber seal, if it is the problem, at a discount auto store, or would i have to go through nissan, and any ideas what that'd run me? any help would be awesome, thanks.

I had the same problem. I have one still on the drivers side and my mom said thats probably how the car was made and it gives you leaks when its really raining and you open the door. But on the passenger side i had some weather stripping missing and i fixed it when i had Maaco paint my car and put my new tail-lights on. Try using duck tape to cover up the wholes. That will probably help it by not leaking anymore. It would look awefull but its the best advice i can give you.

I don't have anything good to say to help, but I can say that I'm happy I live in San Diego. I have never been in my car when it has been raining. The only thing close to that on mine is that I saw some water get inside the window when I wash it, but I'm getting a new top too. Hopefully that will help.
