Leaky T-Tops
What can be done to prevent my backseat from becoming a pond every time it rains? I've checked the seals on the glass, everything seems fine. Does anyone else have this problem? IS this just one of those things that I need to deal with. Help!!

My T-Tops leaked to, and i found out the area where the t-top glass meets the top of the door or top of the window area, there was about a half inch gap, best way to see where it's coming from, is have someone sit on the inside while you spray a hose over it lightly till they spot where it's coming from. just make sure they have a towel!

I'll have to check that out, but I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the T-top rail seals. I just went to Hawks and saw a complete kit . I'll probably just wind up gutting out all the old rubber and replace it . BTW I heard somewhere that there was a fault in the gluing process for the seals from the factory. Does anyone know anything about this.

The factory does a quick gluing job so that's possible, and also my t-tops, when i ripped the molding off, were gone, i mean GONE! the rubber was somehow held on there, i could stick my fingers through the metal to the inside, that's how bad the rust was
(but it's all fixed now)
