Getting our order together for the 33 Ford Coupe kit car (our first ever!). Getting the hard top with the kit. Has anyone ever had issues with rain/water leaking around the top, windshield, windows or doors? May be using this for our daily driving car, at times, and don't want to get caught sitting in a puddle after a hard rain. OR is it better plan on parking it in the garage until ready to take it out for a spin? Would appreciate any feedback.

I had the top and P/W. Got caught in a bad rain 2X. No real issues with water in the car. Just pay attention to sealing firewall properly.

The kit comes with some foam strips and I used black silicone.
