Default Likely leaks on a Targa

Just a quicky.

Where are the leaks most likely to occur on a Targa, i spotted one where the triangle window on the drivers door meets the vinal top and sorted that out. wondered if anyone has come up with any experiance on stopping them leaking for good :-)
Its started to rain down hear in Cornwall now, i didnt think the sunshine would last long, so i would like to get myself prepared before i get incar swimming pools.

I have the leak on my passenger side window where the side (fixed) window has a 2-3mm gap where the roof meets. I tried moving the latches but no real luck.

Only drive in sunny days if my rec!

My leaks at the front of the doors. The Targa Brace Performance Parts sells helped stiffen my car, knocked the leaks back some and quiet some of the creaks. I put a BK Harness guide in and the squeeks and creaks are back so I am thinking of going back to the braces. I know some will laugh and disagree, but that's been my experience.
