I usually don't drive my car when its raining. I don't think it will hurt it I just don't want to have to wash it all the time. But I did get caught out in the rain today and I discovered a leak coming in from the top near the drivers seat somewhere. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from but it was leaking. I stopped by the Acura dealer and showed it to the service manager. He said he has never seen a leak on an NSX before. And couldn't tell exactly where it was coming from either. He said he will have to send it to a specialist since they incounter so few leaks in Acuras they really don't have much experience with them. Has anyone else had leaks in they're top? Boy I drove my 95 for years with no problems of any kind I've had my 05 less than 2 weeks and so far the clutch chatters and the top leaks. I wonder if the quality has gone down over the years or if I just am having some fluke problems.
Has anyone had water leaks

This is actually NOT an uncommon problem amongst the targas. Sometimes it can just be because the top isn't sitting properly on the rubber weather stripping and a piece gets folded under. Check for that first. I too have a leak developed near where the passenger side a-pillar meets the roof. The weather stripping and rubber seals start to deteriorate overtime if not taken care of regularly through treatment. If the rubber stripping is not too bad, it can probably be fixed, but after a certain point, it will probably need to be replaced which is $$$. But a search for leaks will show you several threads which can hopefully diagnose what you got...
