& The Paddock. They both have them you can get the full set doors hatch & t-tops for about 250.

Also during the summer time rub Vasoline on them or Even KY jelly something along those lines to keep them soft.

I just took a tube of 3m black weatherstripping sealand and ran it around on the outside channels. I dont drive with my T-Tops off but i like how the car looks with them

if your weatherstripping is still soft and pliable its good, but it has cracks and rips then most likely it needs replaced...

i just re-sealed the outside of the weatherstipping along the body and bam the leaks stopped... i used rtv sealant (black)...

also i adjusted the t-tops alittle and that helped alot also..

good luck, take your time and you should be almost 100% leak free....

run a search on here to find out more info!!
