I have a '96 Sebring convertible with the same problem. I dealt with it in the following way:
 
1. From the inside, I placed "duct" tape (a heavy duty tape, very adhesive, used to seal heating ducts in the U.S.) over the entire inside edge of the top, overlapping the window by about 1/2 inch. So that from the outside there is a narrow cavity formed between the window and roof.
 
2. Using marine silicone adhesive, I spread a generous line of the adhesive in the cavity described above, even with the top edge of the window.
 
3. After the adhesive has cured (I waited a week), I poured water over the seal to test for any leaks. Then applied more of the adhesive to the area where the leak was located.
 
This approach was performed last summer, and it lasted throughout the winter and spring. I should mention that the vehicle is kept garaged all year round.
 
Good luck!

I have a 2001 convertible. I'm trying to find a solution for wind noise when top is closed. The drivers side latch does not pull tight even after adjusting the pin (hook). The manual does not show ways to adjust the top and I really want to learn how to adjust it w/o taking it to the dealership. Surely someone can help me?
 
Thanks,
Jim

Convertible Top Cleaning? by justme81280

I currently own a '97 Sebring Convertible and would like to wash the top. I don't know what to use to wash the black streaks away and what to use to preserve the top. You know, so the top beads up water? Can anyone suggest something to me?
Thanks so much,
Kathy

Hey Kathy you might try using 303 Aerospace vinyl convertible top kit.I saw a write up on it online while googling 303 Aerospace vinyl cleaner.Seems the huge RV industry rave its ability to clean/protect your vinyl, leather,rubber etc.I went to Yahoo.com shopping and entered 303 Aerospace vinyl convertible top kit and found many stores online selling it from 19.99 to 29.99.Bought it and tried it on my 2005 Chrysler Sebring Touring(26k Miles V6-2.7L,5-20w Mobil1 synthetic oil,K&N air filter, get 24mpg-city,28mpg hwy) vert and wow, worked gr8!.It gives it a real "new look" even after drying.Good for the leather seats too.
BTW how is your '97 Sebring Vert doing?How many miles do you have?V6?2.7L?Have you had any problems?

Convertible top clamp adjustment? by coachbrian

I have a 2000 Sebring LX convertible and the right convertible top clamp seems to need an adjustment in order to clamp the roof more snugly to the windshield frame.
Anyone have a solution to this? I can't seem to find any adjustment on the part itself.
