S5 vert leaking badly

MY vert is leaking terribly through the targa top where it meets the window...I read that the seals in there get old and clogged/dirty but i have no clue how to access them. Can someone please give me an accurate description and pics of where everything is located and how to access them. I'm really tired of coming to a car that has a puddle in front and behind the passenger seat and the car having condensation all inside of it

This should help you. On page 10 there's an exploded view. Start by cleaning and inspecting the seals. I lubricate them with a non-petroleum based lubricant to keep them soft and sealing well.

I would suggest also looking at your door seal, as it was the biggest culprit of leaking on my vert. There is a channel built into it that drains any water from the targa-windshield contact point and it broke at the top, creating a little water fall. You can scoop up a new OEM seal on ebay for pretty cheap.
