Leaking Cabriolet Fix?

I have an '83 Cab and brought it out in a downpour last weekend because of an Auto-X - it has rarely seen rain. Driving down to the event I had no problem, but once I stopped for any length of time the top leaked like a sieve right at the corners where it meets the windhsield. Anybody ever tried to fix this issue? Not too worried because I rarely have the top up, let alone drive in the rain, but if there is an easy fix I would like to know??

mine does the same on the passenger's side if it is raining just right...

I have added a small piece of weatherstripping to mine and that fixed it, but it is not a permanent fix, and while it isn't terribly obvious, it's not the best way to fix things.

The Fix is ... to sell the car and get a coupe. Which is what I did.

Sell the Cabriolet? We get so little sun here in NE Ohio, that when it comes out I need to suck up all I can!
