The weather stripping on the center piece of my t top
has popped out. I tried siliconing it back in place but
it doesn't hold.

The problem is that the little 1.5 - 2" piece is lifting at
the back Is this a common issue? Any tips on a
cheap way to fix this?

The good part is I've never had any leaks and the creaks
have stopped since I installed my SLP Bilsteins.

Maybe you will have luck finding them. The first thread will tell you the part numbers and how to apply them. The second is the latest on trying to find the part.

It's not so critical, you could probably make your own out of a piece of rubber.

^Thanks all. Debating whether or not to just rip it out then as it annoys me seeing it sticking out. I tried using some clear silicone and packing tape to hold it in place but it didn't work at all.

Good to hear that others have removed it without causing leaks!

I have T tops on my M/C, used regular home weather stripping over the orginial. No more leaks!

^^Yeah I might try that. I took the piece out. If it doesn't leak I'll
just live without it. The one at the front of the bar beside the
windshield is still perfect.

Tick Performance apparently carries them

Damn I didn't know they cost that much

^GM plastic screws for the rear speaker panels are like $13.00 EACH or something
equally ridiculous. At least these are available! I emailed to see if they will sell me
just the rear one.

That's crazy and that reminds me, I need some of them..good thing I can just drive 5min to a pic a part and find that But one day i'll need that piece unfortunately. Good thing I live in the desert and don't have to worry about my tops leaking lol

You're lucky that you don't live in Canada; Alex Bryant from Tick
quoted me $49.25 to ship two tiny pieces of plastic (these t
top seals) using regular USPS. Normally, something of this
size off ebay is $8.00 - $10.00 max for shipping here from
the US.

That says a lot about Tick Performance to me, and I don't
think I'll be buying anything off them in the future if that's
their idea of customer service and reasonable pricing.

JUST USE GOOP its like 6.00 at advanced

Like the shoe goo stuff? Will that work? I tried clear silicone and all it did
was make a mess. But it GOOP works I'll give it a go.

I don't think the pieces are there for actual weatherstripping or water control. My guess is that they just gap the panels for aerodynamic and aesthetic reasons. There is a thread somewhere, where a site member cut some new pieces out of rubber and applied them.

I also don't have the front or rear pieces. I don't get any leaks from the T-tops. The door weather stripping, that's a different story.

Used the gf's hairdryer and some pliers to get one of the wings nice and
hot..after a couple of minutes it straightened out.

Applied some Permatex Silicone Windshield & Glass Sealer to both wings
and put it back into place. Laid a bead of it over the top of the t top cap.

Looks like it worked..and it saved me $100.00 ordering new t top end caps from Tick Performance
