yes it IS possible, but its gonna cost you. guess it would be like converting a hardtop to a ttop, but backwords. you would have to find a hard top car and cut the roof off and then cut your roof off and weld the hardtop on....making sure everything is lined up perfectly. your probably better off finding a good hard top car and just driving that one, much easier.

if your ttops leak, fix all the seals and make sure the tops and the windows are all lined up.....if not they will leak

it is possible to have a leak free roof

i love the t-tops, just when its not raining, it gets really annoying when u have tried to fix the leaky t-top numerous times, and there is still a slow leak sumwere. Like ill probably keep them but its just so annoying sumtimes.

to stop most of the leaks just raise the windows more....re-cuck the t-top and around the head-linner. When i put on the new wheather stripping that stoped most of it..i picked them up at a Chevy dealer for abotu $75. if that dont stop them then use towls!! that works of rme

i got a simple solution to leaky t-tops, run about 1/4 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide bead of clear silicone caulk around on the t-top it self (glass part) where it meets the weatherstriping it will make the fit tighter plus help reduce a lot of the leak, just thought i'd share that with ya
