So my son was sitting in the back seat of my Mustang a few weeks ago and when he got out, his butt was wet from the seat...so I started poking around on the mustang forums to see if this was a common problem with the convertibles. It turns out that there is a drain in the panel behind the door that gets clogged from runoff from the top. I read a few posts and took the back seat out and all the panels off of the passenger side and fixed the leak....which was a major pain all by itself. Then I decided to check the other side just to make sure it wasn't clogged. As I started to remove panels, liquid started leaking into the area the back seat would be. Apparently with moving the top up and down to get the panels in position, the actuator blew a seal and started shooting hydraulic fluid EVERYWHERE. At this point, the top was all the way down and had to have the wife hold the button to raise the top while I was pulling it up and fluid was spraying....it wasn't very enjoyable.....
