I dont think the leaking is coming from the seals.

I just had my window fixed and it dont leak anymore. The bolt holding the window arm on the inside of the door was slowly making that hole bigger. Its only fiber glass. It will make the window sag and a gap inbetween the window and the striping thus letting water in.

To make a long story short when i wash the car i spray the hose right at the spot were the water would come in and now it doesnt.

You say 2000 SS? Man you are screwed, they don't make them for that year, only 1993-1999 & 2001-2002........Camaro only, no Trans Am.! ....j/k

All of them are the same 1993 Camaro/Firebird through 2002. Only one would be different would be a non t-top car, or a vert.

someone on here in a previous forum said that if the t-tops are leaking, u can pick up some silicone spray and spray the weatherstripping because over time the stripping starts to dry out and the silicone spray can help.
