Every time it rains I get water in the rubber well which holds the top when down, of course the top is up when it rains, It has a glass window with rear defrost. I cleaned the car sunday and while washing the top water was seeping in the rubber well ans some leaked into the trunk. The top is in amazingly good condition no rips or holes. Is there a common area that.
Run the fan at full speed w/ the top and winows closed and use a cigaerate or anthing w/ smoke and go around all the windows and seams you,ll find it

You likely have a water leak around the 3rd brake light mounted on the top rear of the cab. I had this same issue on my 96 Ranger Supercab and found that the foam seal had gone bad and was allowing water to leak into the back of the headliner around the light fixture. It ended up soaking the headliner from one side to the other as the headliner acts as a 'wick'. You can repair this issue by either replacing the sealant around the 3rd brake light or replacing the brake light. There are two screws which secure the 3rd brake light assembly to the back of the cab. Remove these and it will pop right out. I upgraded mine to an LED light when I replaced it. That solved two issues at once as I'll never need to change a bulb there again. If you want to be cheaper you can not replace the light and just seal it with rubber silicone sealer.

The rear window for that top is a seperate curtain.
Replacement is best left to a professional.
You should cantact an automotive trim shop (upholstery) for them to quote it.
The way it is replaced, you have to take the top loose, roll it forward, replace the window curtain, reinstall the top. Depending on the condition if the top, it may need replacement also. That is best determined by the shop that does the work.
This is not recommend as a DIY project. I worked in a trim shop for years, and they are not easy.

Purchase some Permatex clear RTV silicone adhesive sealant from an autoparts store run a bead around the window where you have a leak; smooth the sealant like you would caulk wait 24 hours before use

I have had this problem before, remove the inner trim panel on the rear look down at the bottom of the fender well there is a drain hole there, it is probably plugged up, it is there to drain rain water out of the car that comes in when it rains. Hope this helps, let me know.
