Default Convertible top

Hey, I have a convertible, and though it closes all the way, for some reason the windows and top don't seal, so when I wash it the doors get soaked. Anybody have any suggestions as to why it does this?

If the seals are in good shape, sounds like you need to adjust the top and or windows. You can adjust the window slides by taking the door panels off and adjust the slides in or out

All convertible tops leak some, especially when going thru a high pressure car wash. Adjusting the windows and top should be left to a Ford tech, speaking as one. I've spent hours trying to get a top to seal correctly. Also do you close the top with the windows up? If you do lower the windows a bit then close and latch the top, then close the windows sometimes this works. Where does the water come in? Is it near the rear quarter glass or near the windshield? Do the doors close easily and open, if the doors aren't aligned properly they can affect the seal at the top.
