Default Convertible Top Leaking :(

Ok so VA had a shitty storm this morning and on my drive in to work I heard water sloshing around inside the car.

Found a pool of water below the window in the back. There are these hex nuts every few inches or so around the length of that vinyl. At first it looked like it was coming in right around one of those nuts near the top left corner but I saw it was just coming in right next to the nut and dripping over it.

Anyone have any suggestions to find and fix a leak like this? Or am I looking at replacing the whole top?

My roof can get a little leaky sometimes, but it's at the seal above the driver's window. It drips on my arm and gets so annoying. Nothing too serious though, I just wish I knew how it's triggered. Sometimes it doesn't leak at all O_o

Well looking closer I found that the water was coming from the overlap of 2 pieces of vinyl in the back window...

While I'm at work today I'll take a photo of the spot its coming from....
