December 1998 Crash

Convertible top leaks and has done so since the first rain when I bought the car in june of 1998. Vehicle went in for repairs on several occasions with no success in fixing the problem. Problem has progressively gotten worse over the last years. Heavy rain floods the front seats of the vehicle as does washing. Finally gave up after several unsucessful attempts. Slowly over the last 2 years the window motors have gone bad preventing me from rolling the windows down. They get stuck and don't roll up.
