Default water going through vinyl....

So i live in oregon where it rains about 80% of the year but its sweet to drop the top in that 20%. Back to the topic it has rained cats and it has rained dogs on my 350zr but water has never seeped through the vinyl as it did today.
I got into my car and saw little drops of water all over my interior and when i looked up i noticed water had some how managed to get through the soft top, all of it not just a small area.
has this happened to anyone?
its like 37 degrees Fahrenheit and wet if that matters.

Sounds more like condensation than water seeping through the top.
What was the temp inside the car whwn you parked it?Did you have the heat
on?

If that much water has come through, you may have a cut and/or hole in the top. I rec. inspecting the top thoroughly. If nothing is found, it could be condensation, as JCITY has stated. However, for that much water to accumulate, I must wonder if your window/windows were open.
