Default Roadster top windshield leak

Anyone experience a leak at the windshield/top on the drivers side. I had it in for repair and the replaced the gaskets on the molding along the windshield on the drivers side. I washed my car when I got it home and it was still leaking. Back to the dealer again. I would have thought the dealer would have run water on it to check.
2004 roadster.

Am I the only Roadster to have a leak when it rains or I wash my car?

I had the same problem, but it was on both sides. It turned out that they needed to replace the weather stripping where the top meets the windshield frame. There is a channel in that weather stripping that directs the water down and onto the outside of the side windows. Even after they replaced it, they needed to adjust it a bit as I was still getting a small amount of moisture on the inside of the windows. It seems to be fine now.

By the way, they should be water testing it. Make sure you tell them to dry it off completely less you end up with a bunch of water spots.

Thanks, it will have to go back again. Washed it last night to get the water spots off from the dealer and it was still leaking. What a pain. I have to travel 20 miles to get to the dealer. They keep telling me that they run water over it for up to 3 hours, but all I do is wash and I see the leak. I will have to tell them to order all new gaskets before I bring it in again.
