Leaking a-pillar rubber gutter channels?

[Curly]

It rains here once a year, and I get wet.

Heh, it rains here once in a while, and I get mostly ... sideways.

Mate, thanks heaps for bringing this thread back from the dead (wow, 5 yrs) because i have the exact same problem

My right knee getting wet in recent sydney rain.. Although im afraid that because i havent noticed it with the hard top on, maybe the hard top (and the two side strikers) pull the hard top down harder than the soft top and squash the A-pillar together a bit more... so this week i had only soft top up and hence the wet knee?

Anyway, if anybody has clues... i might try cleaning that non-door channel down the A-pillar tomorrow. ive heard a coat hanger does the trick, but carefully so as not to tear the rubber.? any other suggestions?

i have just noticed a small leak, a trail of water coming from the top of the plastic which covers the A-pillar inside the cabin on the passenger side. i think there's water inside there. is this the same as the leak everyone is this thread has been mentioning? i have NC2 btw.

Thanks for digging this up! I have the same problem, but just attributed it to the car being old. If it turns out you can fix it by clearing the blockages, that'd be awesome!
