Question on convertible targa section.
I have read that they changed the targa section between '88 and '89 due to leaking. Does anyone know what the difference is? I have an '88 that leaks several places around the targa section but the seals look good .

It is leaking on the front passenger side between the targa and the windshield, and it is leaking at the back of the targa behind the driver's seat where it meets the softtop. I have also noticed a little leakage along the top of the driver's door at the front where it meets the targa top.

Yes the little rubber cups are in place, and the windows go all the way up. The rubber is intact with no cracking. I had just heard that the newer verts had modified tops with rain channels. I hate to put over $500 in rubber on the thing when the seals look good.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
worn/bad targa seals (on the Targa section) is what is causing the leak, or mis-adjusted clamps.
The 88 and 89+ tops are the same other than a water channel built into where the roof seam is and a water/drain built into the rear section. just behind the doors.
