“97 spyder convertible - I am the owner since 08/03. Rear window was leaking a bit and last week literally fell out. Had to replace top, window could not be repaired. Corners of driver and passenger sides are leaking seriously despite top replacement. Seals may have to be replaced. Cost so far - $2001 plus rental car. Passenger seat slides and is difficult to lock.”
