Leakage when it rains...
i keep getting leaks above my window seal in a certain area on both sides. the rubber kinda looks worn a bit. will it cost me a fortune to redo both of the sides weather stripping?

not as much as when it rains but when i wash my car. God i always heard t-tops leaked too but for some reason i was never worried. But it looks like the corner of my t-top was grinded down a little or something. Where do i take my car to have it checked?pontiac dealer?

i noticed that mine, if i have my windshield wipers on, they leak, and when they are off, they dont, its cuz it doesn't shoot water into the ttop channel i guess. RAIN X!!! and i noticed that if i wipe down the top of the windows before i close it, it makes a world of differance

Mine only leaks when Im doing 60+ and the water streams up to the back corner where the window/t-top/car seal meets. I dont use high pressure washers and now the car never sees the rain so I guess it doesnt bother me.

my driver side leaks also , at the top of the window , it only does it when the car is setting still , no problems while driving in the rain. Leaks like a **** at the carwash though
I was gonna get a new driver side seal but the only place i found it at was kinda expensive. If the leak gets bad enough I guess i'll just have to pay up.

Mine leaks in the very front where the side mirror is and the very back by that plastic triangle piece. I heard there is some kind of stuff you can rub or spray on the rubber seals that makes them seal much better. I don't know if that is true but it would be nice!

Mine leaks during heavy rain and in the car wash. Also my window starts to "flex" out and leave a gap between it and the rubber seal when i have my car over 100 i am hoping that if i change the weather striping that it will fix that problem.

Mine leaks when its raining just a bit. regardless of the amount of rain or how hard. Car wash's do it to, GM sells a lubercant that de electrifies the weather stripping. When it sits over night with it raining, and i go to yeild at any speed. The tops become like a waterfall, Is there any solution to fix this or are we Sh** out of luck?
