Best thing to do is search "t-top leaks".There are several experiences & several personal fixes.
For example,mine leaked bad even after new stripping was put on.
I kept adjusting the pin guides til I was satisfied.
There are ppl who took stripping off & added caulking,RTV,& windshield sealer.
It depends on what you want//need//can do,& there's even a magazine editor installing stripping showing some tips along the way...

For some odd reason I can't enter a link that can be clicked on.

T-Top Blues is the article name.

This article deals with removing,cleaning,& installing new t-top stripping.
During the install,there are a few tips on where to put extra sealer in the most leak-prone areas.

Maybe this will help.
