roof leak

When I am driving in a medium to heavy rain, I get a steady dripping on my left arm. The dripping seems to be coming from the place where the A-pillar, sun room, and driver's window all meet. Also gets pretty exciting in a car wash unless I have a towel - same scenario.

I've checked and all of the rubber >>seems<< to meet like it should, and the drain that goes down the A-pillar seems fine, and the gasket that goes down the A-pillar seems to be clear. Are any of the rubber parts there commonly replaced on these cars?

Any ideas?

recheck the drain hose, i'm thinkin it's clogged with dirt.
if the glass meets the weatherstripping, then there's no reason why it should leak.

I ve heard that most T top cars have a leak around that area. It could be any number of thing leaking. Is your door draggin?? I know my slick top car leaks just a bit when goin through the car wash around the upper a pillar on my passenger side. It isnt that bad..just minor

I have a air leak in the same area. No water comes in during wash or rain, but I hear it at freeway speeds. I've lookad at the rubber and there's no tears or anything. I figure it's just from age and the rubber seal getting permanantly formed to the door glass.
