don't go through a high pressure wash.
Even if my T-tops didn't leak, I wouldn't trust going through a high pressure car wash.

No problems with leaks so far (90K mile car with no Subframes). I did/do two things.
1) I had to use some Epoxy to fill in an area on the driver and passenger side back part at the T-top where water was coming in and running down the inside of the rear plastic peice that hides the rear speakers next to the rear seats. Before I did this I had water running inside of that, and down the seat belt.
2) I condition the seals on the windows/T-tops every 2 months with Dielectric grease. not sure the brand, but have been doing it for years with not problems with leaks except those rare times I go to long without conditioning the seals or if I put another chemical on it that dries it up.

Yeah, I get small beads of water when driving on Highway, they come in where the tops meet the car (rear bar) and window. That little spot is it though. And considering its not a DD anymore, she never sees the rain, so its all good.

I will take a pic when I get a chance of what I use. I'm telling you guys, you condition your seals and these little beads of water that come in will stop.
