T-top care...
T-top care... i recently had a new t-top seal installed on my t/a and was wondering what the best thing is to do to it to keep it soft and supple? everyone says this and that but i figured i would ask the people who know best...those who drive ls1's daily

I've been using an STP product called Son-of-a-gun for over a decade now on stuff like plastics and rubber. I've never had any plastic/rubber surfaces/seals dry out or lose their finish when kept treated with that product. My weather stripping and plastic trim always looks & feels like brand new. It's not fancy or expensive, so most probably think it's no good, but after all these years it's proven to me. 
rpmws6...so since i'm sure you condition your seals, etc. good have you had any problems with leakage as long as they're taken care of good? just curious cause i wanna make sure to not have any leaks with this car cause it would suck to not be able to drive it because of the possible chance of rain and such...you know how that goes
