every time it rains my rear floorboard behind the passenger seat gets soaked, i put my top up slightly to see maybe rust on the frame or if there's any tears in the rag top, itself, they seem fine, which leads me to believe that maybe the rubber seal for the window, is the problem, i check around but i could be wrong, but its made specific to my, i went to only factoryparts.com, and i checked under the convertible/soft top category, and i get :Belt molding, Belt w strip, Cap, Drip molding, and Molding, as the categories, none with a picture, but they have an instructions pic,

do i need all of them, because they range from 5 bucks all the way to 200 plus?is there any options or am i just gonna just have to save?

Have you tried adjusting your window positioning? I have the same problem on the driver's side when I got the car. I fixed it by adjusting the driver's side window.

Are there any gaps between the door window and any weatherstripping? If so, rain may be able to run into the interior of the car.

If you have gaps, look at the main FSM and it shows how to adjust the positioning of the door window. You will have to do a lot of playing around with the position of the regulator and window stops to get the position just right.

I believe the vert supplement may show how to adjust the 1/4 window (this wasn't necessary for me).
