Hi, i had a leak in the part where the roof lays onto the windows, it leaked there when raining, and poored when it snowed. I was scared it was going to be a bad seal, or bad alignment. Guess what, there is a very big drain hole in both corners of the roof seal. It was full with dirt. It will pile up and leak into the cabin. Cleaned with q-tips and put some new acid free-vaseline on, better then the rubber seal stick in my opinion. Iam almost certain this will be the fix, NOTE, there is also a drain hole in the little tub from the roof seal against the windows. Take a q tip toss the head and stick it in there as that hole is half the size of the other one. have a great (dry) day!

*gotta take the roof up a little, Alan key counter clock to unlock clockwise to lock again. Watch out as the roof HAS TO BE into place and look like its finished in place before turning the alan, otherwise it all will break.
