If I read this right, it's leaking at the a pillar.
Look at how that lines up with the window closed.
Does closing the door slightly push the a pillar forward?
You can adjust the door up, lift it, and it moves things forward.
You can remove front triangle and adjust the main vertical window post forward.
In the end, having the a pillar move slightly when you close the door, and really compressing that rubber is the key to getting that place to not leak.
For the targa, make sure you have the right roof, there are two.
Adjust the front clips to pull it forward more.
Crush the front gasket, mine are really tight to close...no leaks.
It does compress pretty tight along the front. - this top is the correct late top-i have 2, one with the sun roof in it which is an early one and that one the windows dont quite fit the same but this one is a late top.
-i will try to re-adjust the front clip to make sure its as tight as possible, but it does seem really tight there, but i think you might be onto something regarding the tightness of the triange and whether or not htat is compressing the seal right thtere. I also noticed that at the very top corner the fit of the seal looks a bit off and might be where the water is making its way thru- and that makes sense, if it comes in there it would get behind the a-pillar trim and then leak down to where i see it coming thru.
- thatnks for the advice, i am going to try and adjust the top fit , it then should compress that top edge or corner better and then i will test it with hose
- also suggested was the possibility of the water getting behind the metal trim that holds the seal.- i checked this last night at that is sealed good, so i dont think thats it. -its either getting under the top front leading edge and then following down along the inside to the pillar and down, or its at that very edge of the top where the targa top side seal pulls into the edge block . I m not sure if i am describing this correctly so i will take some pictures and post later. its also not happening on passenger side like it is on the driver's side.
