This car has had a water problem from the beginning. 1st was the upper windshield seal. This seal has been replaced, updated and then replaced again. Both doors retain water at the bettom seals. These seals were covered by a new TSB.
Self repaired - The hardtop would not recline into the trunk. The issue was in the back seat area, the fabric between the rear side windows and the back window are pulled to fold in half in order for the roof to recline. Each side is on a pulley system, and eventually the string that is the pulley, stretches. This prohibits the fabric from folding in half which would then trigger the the top to go down. Simply pulling up the slack on the string and tying it off solved the problem.
