Don't think his t-tops are leaking because it's a hardtop. But yeah t-tops leak sometimes.

Dashboardleaks can be tuff to find. Just because its coming in by the fan does not mean that is where the leak is. I have seen leak like you are talking about causedby a seal in the top of the windshield. The water just runs around and finds the easiest way out. Water leaks and airnoise are two of thetuffest things to find. Or I should say it can be tuff. Most ofthese leaks in the 3rd gens wherethe windshield seal. But that was back when the 3 gens where new. I do remember the body men used to use a hose and they would full up thewiperarea and make sure no water got on the windshield.Let it run for awhile. IF there was no leak they would resealed the windshield.
When I did auto body I searched for leaks that very way. One guy on the inside and the other starting at the lowest spot possible with the hose. Move slow to give the water time to seep. If it stays dry then have the person on the outside move up a little further.
