My car sits outside so it is exposed to the rain. :-(

If it has been raining a lot, when I drive the car, water runs down into the car from both sides, from the front of where the door windows meet the ragtop.

Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thanks

Check your door seals.
Also check your window to make sure its rolling up and down properly and evenly.

When your sitting in your Lara with the top up and windows up does everything match up???

Actually, the leak is not at the window seal. See picture. The water comes dripping out where the arrow is, on both sides.
