On my wife's 98 Z-28, there's a water leak towards the back portion of the door. I was told that there was a simple solution to this years ago, but i can't remember what that was. The car has no body twisting issues. Can anyone please advise? Thanks!!

Common problem for these cars. My 02 has done it since I bought it. You didn't say but does it leak all the time or only during extremely heavy rain or washing. I have only heard to fix it was to replace the entire rubber piece just above the door jam that rests against the window. Mine leaks a few drops on the driver side when I wash it so I am in no hurry to fix it. Maybe someone else can chime in on this. Hope this helps.

Is there a gap between the window and the rubber?

No gap at all. When the doors close, we can hear a "good seal".

When you take the t-tops off there's two screws you can tighten where the t-top glass connects too. I had to tighten mine recently because it was leaking.

my94 did it and my 2000 always has. just a drop or two in heavy rain or washing it. didn't seem enough of a problem to investigate a fix. I think i keep it so i can laugh at the look on the face of my passenger when they think they might have felt something drop on them but really aren't sure.

sorry to bring this thread back, but my actual t tops leak somewhere...in heavy rain or when i wash it. mostly towards the back of the ttop but if it rains enough and when i hit the brakes the water will start to leak at the front of it too. what would i need to fix this

I had the bottom edge of the t-top gasket start leaking so I squeezed some silicone in there and that fixed my leak.

Shutzero, it just sounds like your t-top isn't seating fully tight. Check the metal mounts (behind the plastic covers), they may need adjusted downwards a little to press onto the seals tighter.
