That is good info. It also reminded me to clean out all my drains today.

I know exactly what you are talking about, however I did not know it was so instrumental in terms of its role in maintaining proper water drainage.

I was aware of the two plastic clips, as you mentioned, but I have another problem; the one on the driver's side of the car is broken off. I purchased (actually, the dealer gave it to me) another one, but upon installation, I see the stud this sits on is actually broken off. I guess I have a couple of options; my car is garaged at all times and rarely sees rain, so I could do nothing. Option two would be to drill out the old stud and put a bolt through to hold the clip. It's funny, I didn't notice this as I don't put the top in service position very often.

I would figure out some way to attach the convertible top to the drivers side clip. This was the clip that was disconnected on my car which caused the water leak under the carpet.

I guess I'll have to do the drill thing when I get some free time. About the only time my car sees water is when I wash it.

Had water behind my seat this morning and while trying to check my drain holes and foam pans noticed this same issue. It was all I found wrong so I am hoping this resolves my issue.

Thanks

This was not my only issue apparently as I have more water in the car this morning.
