Question about my TA Hey Guys i own a 98 TA with ttops.. Lately water has been getting inside both the driver side and passenger side door.. I dont know if its the weatherstrips but thatd be my main guess.. It is leaking right in the middle of the window and also right at the end by the door handle.. Do you think I need new weatherstrips and if so know of anyone who sells them the cheapest? Thank you very much guys.

I've have also heard subframe connecters stop this leaking problem.. Subframe connecters are like a pipe that runs underneath your car to stop the "flexing" during hard take offs , UMI, DMS, LG Motorsports are all sellers of these... try this link I think they are having a sale

my car isnt twisted i just think the weatherstrips are ripped or old. They are older.. Should I get the white lithium grease you spray on the inside of your door to make it stop squeaking or is there like compound you rub on or some kind of lotion?

You probably just need to adjust the glass so it is tighter against the seals when it's closed. Here is a guide on how to adjust it. http://shbox.com/1/adj_window.html

my car did the same thing when my passenger side window motor was pooping out it did not have enough power to push it all the way up but if i opened the door it would go the rest of the way up(just a little gap) and seal

yea i dont know what the deal is bc both of my windows are leaking a little bit now. all the way at back of the glass where it meets the door closest to the rear quarter and then on the top of the window about right in the middle of the glass. How will this lithium grease stop the water from coming in?
