<VV> convertible tops

[Ken Clark]

David, My 66 Conv had that problem when I got it and it was coming in under the chrome pieces at the top of the windshield.  I removed them and sealed it up with a sealer and have had no problem since.  It's worth a look if you haven't already looked there.  Ken Clark
