The top is in good condition, there are no visible leaks. The leaks come in at the bottom of the back glass window and the water pools behind the rear seat on the tarp like material. I used to drive the car eveyday and it was a bigger problem, now I have a truck for the rain and snow, so it is not as much of a problem, I would still love to take care of the problem.

That would probably work, but you might try a large turkish style towel or anything super absorbent and just roll it up and leave it back there but make certain to change it when it gets wet or it will start to stink.
If you only get a little water back there, IOW not a flood, that's what I would do assuming of course you can't fix the leak.
The problem with fixing rear window leaks is that the window to fabric seal has a TON of pressure on it when the top is closed and most sealers just rip open and you;ll be leaking again.
You might try some of the oil/water resistant silicone stuff that is used for oil pans etc.
I think they make it in black. That stuff is really sticky and might do the trick.
Use it sparingly though in case it doesn't work so you don't make a mess.

hell yes f the leak, I have the ghetto rig with the towel but I figure that will work until I replace the top, which will hopefully be this winter so it can stretch out and be ready for the summer.

My 00GT leaked back there also. It used to drip into the trunk, & I had water under the spare tire. I just had the entire top replaced with the glass back window for $700 ( I never liked the tan top anyway ). When the tech took out the window, he showed me where it was leaking. Its the seam right under the glass. He said that they all leak there after a while, & they really can`t be repaired. Evidently, the water enters the seam, & then comes out the corners onto the well liner. So, I went from this--->
to this-----> I like it sooo much better!
