I already know these cars are notorious for leaking water. There has to be a way to keep them from leaking water into the interior of the car.
I recently replaced the all the t-top weather stripping. I have the glass tops as tight down to the weather stripping as possible. Still I am having water leaking in all 4 corners and now in the rear. I have no clue where that water is coming from. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The seals were purchased from Hawks Motorsports.
It's common for the t top bar itself to be the cause of the leak if it's not properly sealed to the car. When I redid my t top channels I used seam sealer and gasket material to fully seal the t top bar to the car. as for the outer corners, you need to run some form of sealant as a bridge from the t top channel to the A and B pillar channels
T-top bar continued to leak on mine after replacing all weatherstripping, and VERY closely following all instructions in the t-top waterleak manual. I re-sealed the bar again with seam sealer, this time with it in place, and without removing anything other than the t-tops since it was a nightmare replacing everything the first time. Doesn't look great, but haven't had a single drop of water inside since.
Also, make sure your windows are lined up properly. My passenger's window was just slightly rotated down towards the front, car would get soaked on that side every time it rained. Took me 3 years and repeated removal of the door panel for adjustment to get mine right, after replacing all the seals.
