88 vert just got it and there doesnt appear to be any rips or tears in the top but the carpet is wet and there was condensation on the inside of the trunk lid. I am learning as I go here. I searched on some other threads and read about a vert top drain? is it possible this is plugged?? Again learning as I go been a proud owner for all of a week!!! lol

nobody has any help?

 

The carpet is wet where? In the passenger compartment or the trunk?

 

behind the drivers seat and passanger seat on the floor.... I really didnt see anything in the trunk area...

 

Are the floor pans intact underneath?

 

Yep she is solid underneath.... I have had the car garaged for the last week but before that I think it was sittin outside.

 

It's probably a failure of the seal between the hard part of the top and the soft part.
Either it's not fitting properly (tightly) or the rubber gasket has a rip or hole in it that isn't apparent when the top is up.
I wouldn't put it down unless it's warm; you could tear the vinyl.

there are drains in between the top and the body in that pocket at the bottom of where the B-pillar would be in a coupe. There is a drain hose in the bottom of that pocket. Take an old speedo cable or some other flexible wire and run it through there.

I don't think that's the cause of your leak, but I have no better suggestion.

 

Thanks I will give it a try!

 

My non-convertible also has wet carpets under and behind the pasesnger's and drivers's seats. Last week I pulled up the edge of the carpet on the passenger's side and the liquid underneath was green. It was antifreeze leaking from the heater core, which - luckily for me - was caused by a loose hose clamp after I changed one of the hoses to the core. I understand that changing the core is a dashboard-out job. So pull up an edge of your carpet and check the color of the liquid. And hope that it's not green!
