Default 996 cabriolet plastic window leaking

Hi to All!
I am a new owner of 996 C4 cabriolet. Today the car was standing in heavy rain with soft top on, and after 1 hour when I sit in I realized some drop of water coming from the top of the plastic rear window, near the sealing. It was coming from 2 different places from the 1/3 and 2/3 of the top side. It was not too much, only a few drops, but I want to stop it of course. My plastic window is in good condition, it is locked with zipper on the sides.
what is the best practice to stop leaking? Some waterclear silycone from outside, our inside some glue near the zipper?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Robert

Everything looks as it should. I would take it to a professional and get their take on it. The last thing you want to do is smear a bunch of sealant and not have it work.

Did anybody tried to unzip the plastic and replace to a new one? There is new plastic with zipper for 200$.
