They are not too bad to do, just that replacing the hard top weather stripping is a lot less work.

i've used soffseal before for my 82 hardtop and never had a leak. regreting buying the cheapest set for the 82 t-top tho. just pulled they all off because they were still leaking, but..... found other problems so the weather stripping may have been ok.

What brand did you buy for the t tops?
I just bought the Soffseal for my t tops. I haven't installed them yet, but a side by side comparison with my mint original weatherstrip on my TTA shows promise. They seem to be almost identical.

I used Soft Seal also on my TA, absolutely no problems whatsoever.Just make sure you take your time and do the preparation right!!!it's all in the prep.And may I make a suggestion!buy the whole complete replacements, T Tops,doors,hatch,inside sweeps with the new plastic sill & outside window sweeps,etc.I got the whole kit from 1A a while back,I don't know if it is still available in a kit.
Sorry,the weatherstripping I used was Metro "Super Soft" not Soft Seal.The results are still the same.

1A sells Metro. I got the Soffseal t top seal set with the seal that goes on the t top itself. It was a 4 piece set that I bought from Summit. I bought a Metro hatch seal which looks really nice. I bought GM outer sweeps because I heard differing opinions of the aftermarket ones. My inner sweeps are still in great shape. I bought a Soffseal cowl seal which I am a bit disappointed with because the clips need to be inserted in the seal.
The door seals are from Fairchild industries. I bought them because they have a plastic insert on the ends where they screw in. I can't give opinions on the stuff yet because my car is still in paint prison.
I still need to buy the drip edge for the t tops. I am debating whether to buy the plastic or rubber ones.

My only recommendation at this point is to stay away from OER. I have heard nothing but bad things about those t top seals.
I think most of the time when t top weatherstrip gets a bad review, they were not installed correctly. Like Mantaguy said - it is all in the prep. Also, be sure to use plenty of adhesive. Here is a good Youtube video from a board member.
