t-top seals
Does anybody have a quick fix for my seals, if there is such a thing? The seals are old and pretty flat, i've put vasoline to try to bring them back so they would start sealing again and had no luck. Every time it rains it gets the driver seat all wet.

For the time & frusteration spent d*cking around with tired old seals trying to raise them from the dead, you might as well spend the energy replacing them. TACreations sells a GM T-top kit for $160/pr (plus shipping).

i replaced the three main parts on each of my t-tops (the metal track, the weatherstripping, and the plastic part that you can see from outside). it didnt help anything at all. the car leaks like the damn window is down. i have never seen a thirdgen that didn't leak. and i have seen a lot. a friend of mine had a 92 formula that leaked when it was less than a year old.
i have kind of just forgotten about leak-proofing my car. luckily i dont drive it in the rain. try the area where the t-top weatherstripping meets the weatherstripping on the a-pillar, i think thats where mine leaks a lot.
