Default T-Top Leakage??

Does anyone know how to pin point a T Top leak? Its coming in the front along the windshield line and dripping down around the rear-view mirror. I siliconed everything on top that I could and it's still leaking. I need this fixed before it starts raining again.

Sounds more like a windshield leak, T-top leaks usually would drip on the seat area.

Yeah, I thought t tops usually leaked around where the window rolled up because that is where the roof makes all the water run out.

I would take hose and run water all over to find exactly where it's leaking at.

I found mine to leak through the power rearview mirror wires. The water would pass through the opening for those wires due to the gasket for the rearview mirror being old. I sealed it up with silicone, but water still got into the passenger front floorboard. I have to reinspect the silicone.
