Question T-top Adjustment???

I am getting a leak from the t-tops on the pasanger side where it meets teh windsheild. When standing outside the car you can see that the passanger side top sits about a 1/4" farther back than the drivers side. I think this is cause the problem, but I cant get the t-top to sit farther forward. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad

Have you tried to adjust them at all?

Pop your top off, pull the a-piller out with two phillips screws, an then it pops out. Also the b-piller has a small trim plastic piece with two phillips screws as well. Pop that out and adjust it as well.
Make sure the bars from the t-tops are going inside the holes (not hitting the flange and pushing it away) and get far enough in, slap some grease on them bars. The marine weaterproof grease works great.
If everthing is adjusted right and you still have a leak then it can be your weather stripping, or the door window needs to adjust in more.

Let us know what you come up with.


Peace,
Craig.

Make sure the weatherstrips' ducts aren' t clogged. I believe these carry small channels, to allow the water to drain out. Get a look at those too.
