Not sure where to post this but, my t-tops are leaking on the front and back part of them on the passenger and driver side, im talking bout the sides where the handle is. Apparently my weather stripping is good, so do I just need new t-tops?

I think it is the weather stripping on the t-top. I had a new condition t-top on my car with no leaks then I put an older 94 t-top on and it leaked.I don't know how to fix it though. You can get t-tops cheap now a days. I have extra t-tops in Florida but I don't go back until November 1st.

Is the weatherstripping surface still smooth, or is it falling apart?
When you look at the window glass from the outside of the car, do you see any gaps between the window glass and the weatherstripping? How close is it to the lip on the weatherstripping?
BTW - You can adjust the tops and you can adjust the glass. The answers to the above will help guide you.

Here is what I did that worked for rattles and helped for leaks although I still get a drip or two at a car wash.
