Help! My t-tops started leaking!

Just recently, my t-tops have started leaking. My headliner is out right now and water has been coming out of the holes in the roof (front and rear) when I drive after a heavy rain or when I wash the car with a pressure washer. My weatherstripping seems like it is in good shape, so I assume it's the center bar? What has everyone else experienced? What am I looking at doing to fix this? I guessing I'm going to have to replace the weatherstripping so I can get the center bar off and seal the **** out of it.

Have you replaced the weatherstripping before?
This has been discussed recently,one of the mods here replaced the weatherstripping on his car,and posted some good pics for referance.
I don't remember the name of the thread but it was started by scottmoyer.

No, the only weatherstripping I've replaced are the ones on the doors. I'll go search for that now.

Re: Help! My t-tops started leaking!

i am experiencing the same problem, only i replaced the weather stripping. everything on it. the t-tops on the body and on the glass, and the rear hatch. everything else was replaced by the previous owner. i cant seem to fix it either. i always adjust the rubber and no matter what i do, it still leaks. so im right there with ya man.
