I have a 89 T top, and when it rains, it leaks inside. The interior is something I hope to tear out in the summer and replace, but in The mean time i need to fix teh weatherstripping, where do I get it? and how do i replace it? Is it glued on? and tips or websites of how to do all of that? thanks!

i bought all mine from www.soffseal.com it is guled on and there are some push pins /a track that holds it in. make sure you dont have any rust holes on the t-top frame like how i did but i got mine fixed.


this is after it was fixed


that is where mine was leaking from and you can see the tracks on top and the right.
you have to open up everything to realy see what you got going on under their

I tried the OER t-top kit from Classic Industries and basically threw away money. Next, purchased all new GM weather stripping for my 3rd gen. It fits and seals like it should.

Soffseal makes good products too. Have used their door seals, hood seals, trunk seals, etc. in several of my cars with good results.

1A Auto is very well priced and fair.
I asked Dan, he's a member on the site the same question in a pm.
He was very helpful and they have the cheapest weatherstripping i've seen.
Heres a quote from the message he sent me.
(Mine was in regard to the door weatherstripping.)

The seals on the doors are pretty easy to change compared to the other seals on these cars. The doors seals are held in place by plastic push pins, so you just pull them out to remove the seal. There are a couple screws toward the tops of the doors that must come out as well, but they're easy to spot.
Installing is just the reverse. Some people like to put a little weatherstrip adhesive on the seal in between the push pins, but its not required. Bear in mind, if the door is sagging at all (and its not uncommon on these cars), it may be a bit hard to close the door when the seals are first installed.

Hope this Helps!

Well... I had a good one on a parts car I had... until it was stolen from it. =/

I'd do Soffseal as well. I had the metro brand t-top seals last year. They were o.k. but didn't look exactly like the original, didn't fit as well, and a pain to get my t-tops to come down and close. We had to adjust the latch as high as it would go and still leaning on top of the tops while the other person tried to latch them. We then left them like that for a long time. We got the car painted this Dec and put new seals on the t-tops again but with Soffseal from Summit racing and it's great. Looks like the original and fits a lot better.

Nice job fixing that area.That came out great.

And now I figure out that the 8-piece kit in the Classic catalog is junk.

Anyways, you were looking for a site, look here: http://www.fierottop.com/waterleak/

It's for Fieros, but the idea is the same throughout GM. I plan on using plenty of autobody seam sealer up there when I redo mine.

if that tords me than thanks! lotta work

Thanks, what would a repair like this cost me? Theres an upholstry place in town that does this. But Im sure its not difficult, I want to learn how anyway, so if in the future i can do it again.

89v6- a repair of just the weather stripping or what I did?

the weather stripping is not hard to do, just put some good beats on and then take your time.
the repair of the weatherstripping rails is alot harder b.c that metal is oddly shaped and is very thin and it can warp very easily
