Default Leaking Trektop NX

I recently bought a used Trektop from a member of my local club and it leaks where the quarter window meets the top by the bolt used to run the spring under for the tightness of the top. I have tried weather stripping but it still leaks. Anyone else have this problem and any fixes?

I have the same problem on one side when Im parked on a hill. The water just goes down the channel and under the rubber piece. I just park with the rear on the high side.

Try a strip of all weather foam. Haven't had any issues with mine.

The newish panels have a rubber seal sewn in that is supposed to be pushed against the door surrounds. Even the new design doesn't work that well, so I use a piece of foam weather stripping on the plastic door surround so that the rubber seal pushes against it.





if you notice in my pics just below the bolt, I filed down the plastic edge so that the water has a place to drain and not pool up.
