Default Leaky convertible top, Cuts out at high RPM

I have a '95 Z28 convertible. Two problems:

1) When it rains, the convertible top leaks into the cabin at the front corners (both driver and passenger sides). Do you know of an easy way to fix the leak?

2) The other problem is the car cuts out at high RPM. It accelerates fine up to about 3700 RPM. After that it cuts out and seems to be misfiring. It doesn't die, but it's definitely not operating at full power above 3700 RPM. What could be the problem? One person I talked to (who also has a Z28 camaro) said he had the same problem and it turned out to be a bad catalytic converter. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for your input.

Default

the top probably has to be replaced...mine does the same thing and they go out of adjustment and a lot of the time you need to replace to fix.

the 2nd one could possibly be the catalytic converter, or something in the spark region such as bad wire or opti
