Default T-tops leak

All of you guru's, need some help. On my wife's camaro, the t-tops (closer to the back of the door) leaks water. I was told there was a simple way to stop this. The car has no form of body twisting, so the other option has to deal with the striping. Can yall help?

That sounds like a messy job. How much vaseline did you apply?

My last 2 f-bodys have leaked along with the one i have now. Thy seem to leak at the back top corner of the door glass on both sides. This is my first t-top car and it also leaks at the front of the t-tops at the door if its pooring and im driving. Thinking about getting new seals to see if it fixes my leaks. One thing i have thought about was getting some of the foam in the can and running a piece of small hose to the top half of my door seals and spraying it through the tube and closing the door to keep it from swelling up too much and loosing the shape of the seal.

Not much just enough to apply on the stripping

On my old car my windshield weather stripping was loose so my t top wouldnt line up right so I would have to make sure that everything was lined up good and it wouldnt leak.
