My top just recently started to leak , and Im not sure if I need to replace all the weather stripings or what? Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
In my experience, the top hooks require periodic adjustment to keep a good amount of pressure againt the windshield seal. If your top latches close easily, you may need to adjust the hooks. To do this you have to loosen a set screw and then turn the hooks. In my case I had to cut off a few threads to get more adjustment.

Do also check the drains as suggested in the link posted by Defiant.
 
just do what i did go buy you a can or two of top spray for convertable cars...Its water repellant and works nicely. don't spray 2 much b/c when sun comes out it may fade...but I haden't had problems yet with it

wal-mart like 4 or 5 bucks ;)
