T-TOP Leaks...
This is my second f body, and once again I see water drips on my passenger side. Only during long heavy rains of course. But Damn man!! I don't want that crap. Do any of you guys have to deal with leaks?

Mine are fine, however i have noticed that when i first got my car i took the t tops out and after that i started to hear squeaks. So now i dont even mess with them so that way they dont start to leak. This dosent help you but just thought i would share my experience. Maybe get some new rubber pieces to keep it sealed right.

I haven't had any problems on my 2000. On my Knight Rider conversion (89 Formula 350), I didn't have much of a problem from the top. I had a minor leak on the back on the window where is seals against the back of the window. Basically going vertical right above the door handle. The only way water really got in is if I was shooting a water hose towards the front of the car, so I washed it front to back to avoid shooting water in the small gap. Other than that, no problems with either one.

Both the 2001 and current 2002 T-tops got a few drops on the drivers side under heavy rain. There is a seam in the rubber right about there that I think is the problem. Never caused much of a problem although I don't like it. Might spray some silicone on the rubber.

Mine leaked on the driver side and i was looking at the seal one day and noticed when i put my t tops back in it had pulled the seal up at the front where the t top and windsheild seal meet and wasnt properly sealing so i jus flipped it back, i know what i'm saying prob doesnt make sense but its kind of hard to explain, my car doesnt see rain much but i havent had a problem since
