Hi guys, I recently redid all of the weatherstripping on my IROC

With the t-tops out, my windows fit perfectly on the rubber, but with the T's in, it pushes them out 3/8 of an inch toward the rear upper corner of the glass on both sides.

What's the best remedy for this?

Pics? What brand did you use? Did you replace the seals on the tops as well?

I replaced the t-top one, perhaps I have to move the plastic hold down tabs in a little bit. I used Soff-seal brand seals. The t-top cut out seals fit perfectly, but the windows refuse to fit into the ones on the glass t-top, it leaves about a 1/8" gap..

When the glass it out, it fits the windshield line, and rear seal perfectly.. It's almost like the seal on the glass part is pushing it out.

Might have to adjust the t-top now since factory seals weren't used

According to research Soff Seal made the factory ones back in the day..

What year did they make them? There was 4 different versions of t-top weather stripping because of warranty issues

I remember reading that somewhere on this forum before I bought them. Can't find the post now.. But I used all SoffSeal brand on my Charger, and it was all really nice stuff.

I'll try adjusting the t-tops down a bit.. Maybe that'll help.


After typing this.. They seem to fit okay now.. Maybe they just had to wear in a little..

I hear with aftermarket seals after the install park it in the sun to let it all heat up and seat in. I bought all gm seals for mine once its done with paint.

I looked at those, for the $411 from Summit with free shipping.. I couldn't pass up the SoffSeal.. And that was a complete kit. The body seal for the T-top was very nice to install, it all fit great.. Just had some head aches with the window not sealing to the T-top Glass
