I had a 05 and never had any water infiltration problems. That included going through a couple of super nasty thunderstorms that had pounding rain.
Had to pullover and wait till the rain was over in order to see.

Also had a 98 (from 98 to June of 05) (yes I know its a C5 but quite similar) and it was a dry car.

Nope. Seems to be a good design.

Have an 05, no leaks what so ever, that includes driving through the rain of Hurricane Irene. Also I am very impressed how quiet it is driving with the top up.

08, no.
A little off topic here, but be aware, you do get alot more road noise with a vert. I love mine.

Never had any issues with the wifes 06. Wish I could say the same about my 62. I think in a rainstorm you would stay dryer in it with the top down. LOL
