T top leak fix? well my t tops leak sometimes between the window and t top, and i was wondering if there was any way to fix the leak? the windows are lined up correctly, but i think the weatherstripping on the outside of the t tops are getting a little old
do they sell actual replacement weatherstripping for the t tops? and if so, is it hard to install? like does it require gluing or bonding it on, or is it just fitted or what?
thanks

Yes you can get replacement seals. They are kind of a pain to put on put not too bad. You will definately want a helper when you do it. The grease that Usasoc is talking about is more for preventing leaks than fixing ones that have already started.

I know it's no fancy Euro car, but sometimes I really wish GM implemented the automatic raise window/lower window feature when you open the door.

my t-tops leaked bc the car was tweaked from racing it but when i put the roll cage in it, it stopped leaking. Kind of an exspencive fix i know but that was my problem, the car was tweaked even with sub frame connectors

My T-tops bleed in that exact same spot, and it was really bad with my '94. However, I found something that kinda helps (maybe). When you are rolling up the window, roll it up with the door open. I have been getting a better seal when I do it this way, as if the weatherstripping itself was blocking the window from going up all the way. Not sure if that will help anyone here, but it works for me...
