Does anyone else have this problem with their soft top Sierra?
What is a good way to fix it?
I have already Changed my soft top to a fibreglass roof, and it still leaks a bit.

sikaflex and some rubber from clarkies would seal it but you won't be able to take it off.... then its not a real zook anymore

are you sure its the roof and not the windscreen or the air vent system?
are you just finding pools of water on the floor over night or actually seeing water come thru the roof while you're driving?

common problem, the drain holes just below the windscreen, can block up..they are supposed to drain into the engine bay, but leaves etc, or heavy rain, can block them up, and it usually pours onto ya feet

I've also had the seal between the windshield and the cowl/whateveryoucallit leak. I second the foam tape idea. Try it bit by bit. Seal where you can get to easily and see if it stops, then if it doesn't, go a little deeper. You can have all that apart really quickly anyway.
