T-Top weather stripping I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I have been unable to find an answer in my searching.
So the t tops on my car are starting to leak. The driver side is getting real bad. It's at the point where if I'm driving on the freeway in the rain I get a drip hitting me in the face every few seconds which gets real annoying in some hairy driving situations. I've found where I can buy weather stripping to change out the old ones, but I need to find a good write up of how to do it. Does anyone have a good write up on this? Does anyone know a place to get the weather stripping cheap?
For what it's worth the car is a 2002 Z28 (with t-tops
)

My drivers side drips a little on the highway in heavy rain - done it since new. Before replacing weather stripping try wiping them down with some dialectric silicone grease, owners manual says it's regular maintenance, never do mine though.

This happens a lot. Another poster in another thread mentioned that they just adjusted the front of the T-Top socket so that it holds down tighter. I'm going to do this today to fix the same problem on my car.
In a really bad rain storm this week, I confirmed that the drips are coming in where the window, T-Top, and A pillar all meet. There is space between that weatherstripping, which goes away when the T-Top is pulled tighter.
