Default T-Top Weather Stripping Detailing

(tried searching for this, but no luck)

what is the proper way to maintain the weather stripping for the t-tops and side windows? is something like armor all good enough? or do i need to take it up a notch with something special?

For all weather stripping, use silicone grease.

Dielectric grease. Wipe it on with your finger. A few days later after it's absorbed a bit. Remove excess with a rag. Do not do where the window is going to touch though. Dielectric grease is also good for in the front channel for the side window. Lasts much longer than silicone which will eventually wash away.

Yes, something like Armor All or another water based dressing would work. Never tried grease, but I wouldn't ever want to either.

Try searching the net, you'll find 20 more answers. Weather stripping is weather stripping, regardless of car.
