Just bought a 93 Z and the drivers side is leaking pretty bad. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to slow it down with or the best place to but the weatherstripping. It's leaking right where the ttops meats the front at the window. It leaks pretty good will drip constently on me while driving. Woke up this mornin and seat was soked and could see water everywhere. any suggestions?

 

yearone(a sponsor)sells new weather striping so give em a call or check out there site.

 

you should first try lubricating the t-top weather stripping using just basic armour all. See if that helps to get a better seal. If it doesnt try re-adjusting the window itself to get it to line up better and seal it off that way. 2 easy suggestions that will save you money if either work. Maintenance is key to keeping the t-tops from leaking.

 

I just had the AutoTrim Stripe shop owner that stripes our patrol cars, tell me to rub vasoline on the weather stripping of the ttop. It supposedly remoisturizes it and makes it seal better. havent tried it, but it may be worth a shot before buying new weather striping. Cant Hurt.

 

Baby Oil will help worn out seals also.. Vaseoline will help too im sure, but as far as the Armor-all if it does anything to the seals like it has done to some peoples dash then it will just make things worse.

 

Like statedm Vaseline or Baby Oil. I wouldn't use armor all because some of their products are known to actually dry things out rather than lubricate.

 

trust me armour all works on t-tops guys.. if you don't want to risk it, try using di-electric silicone grease

 

someone tried to use black silicone to fix it and looks like they blocked the hole in the weatherstripping on the pillar. Does this hole maybe run all the way down or something? Do you think I could just reopen this hole and that would help?

Is this what I'm going to have to get?

well to remoisturize them gm says to use the dielectric grease.
my car is starting to leak a very little.

 

Replace Weather Stripping. IF its that bad.

At worst a quick fix is some Silicone grease as the weather stripping gaskets will asorb it and "puff" up and should fill the gaps.

Age and improper matience are the reasons why this happens.

Mine is a 2002 with 42k and the only time I have had anything come through was due to being in a touchless car wash and they have a HIGH pressure washing system and it actually pushed some drops through.

 

Anything any cheaper?

 

Makes me glad I got the hardtop!

 

Hardtops not as fun though. I've never seen ttops on these cars leak as bad as this one. Usually the leak a little and its not that big of a deal.

 

appertly it wasn't leaking it was just where the window motor was going out and wasnt rolling the window completely up. Stupid me, haha

 

So this and this will work

I will try it and post my result because I don't want to **** out two hundred dollars.

How do you put on weather stripping on any way and remove the old ?
