Default how to disassemble t top

hey all, want to disassemble my t tops because I want to replace the weatherstrip on the side that the window glass makes contact with when the windows are closed, is there a specific procedure for taking them apart/reinstallation? Thanks

there's a little spring clip holding the handle on, grab that with a small pair of needle nose pliers or pry off with a small thin flat blade screwdriver. then the handle will come straight off. the visible philip screws on the ends holding the plastic cover is all that holds that cover on. pretty easy once you see that clip underneath the handle.

Is this because the rubber is bad or because you have a leak? If its just a leak, it's probably not the weatherstripping but a more common problem with the door...
