Since you have several leaks and it is to the point where it is causing damage, I would suggest taking the car to a good convertible top or trim shop. Make sure you take it to the best one in your area and that they are familiar with working on Mustangs and are not all snobby about preferring jags and beamers...Got a few different leaks, gonna check the drain plugs/ door sill seams this weekend at my husbands shop to see if I can stop the magical wet moldy carpets I keep getting when it rains.
You can adjust the tension on the two snap clips at the front that hold down the leading edge. Other than that I do not think there are any other adjustment points.Now for all you fellow vert owners, a question to pick your brains. My husband is under the impression there is a way to "adjust" the way the top seals line up, but after searching and scouring all of SVTP, the Corral, here, and the all knowing but not always share worthy google, I could only find this thread, that was even remotely similar to my issues.
Clean, inspect, and refasten the seals as necessary that is all you can really do. Perhaps you are missing some clips or trim fasteners?The reason we are wondering about adjusting the seals themselves is because they all seem in really good shape, but leak at the joints, like the seals dont quite match up perfectly.!
Also, the windows themselves ARE adjustable. I am not sure if that is an issue for you but the vertical travel and the in/out at the top can be adjusted, the Haynes manual shows how.
I really think the best course of action is to take it to a shop but you may be able to correct it using the suggestions I made above. A better description of the exact leak areas with pics would help...
