I'm trying to find out if my convertible is having problems due to a design flaw or if something is wrong somewhere.

If it's raining, or if it's been raining, and I open my driver's door, water pours in. It's coming from just behind where the roof line goes from horizontal to where it turns down toward the door. The leakage is just perfect to catch the lip on the seat (leather) and make nice puddles where I have to sit. Along the same line, if I open the window slightly while I'm driving, water begins to pour in.

Is it just mine, or are they all like this?

Can't say I have that problem. Do get a few drops in when I open door from edge of top but even in a downpour, its never more than that. Even with snow it's no worse. Good luck - Sounds like a problem with your car as opposed to a global defect.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of.
