Unhappy '88 RX-7 Convertible top leaks

hey, i've got an (as the title says) '88 RX-7 convertible. when it rains outside, it rains on me inside. quite annoying in every single way. especially if it starts to rain while you're on a date, and you've read the forecast and came prepared with towels. you get some weird looks. anyways, its the rubber seals or something that's doing the leaking. is there a simple solution for this? do i have to replace the entire top, or just the seals? the water drips from where the latch hinges are.
thanks

I had that problem on my LeBaron. I went and baught door/window seals at home depot (you know the peel and stick for around doors to stop air commin in and out.), baught the realy thin kind and put it along the front of my vert (my latches where up next to the windshield) stopped the leak ... came back after about a year (the winter killed it)

Replace the seal around the door sil, up the a-pillar. If it's botched up, it lets water come pouring in, all over my pants.
