T-top leaking...strange problem!!!

OK....I already searched and came up with nothing.

The weatherstripping that's along the edge of the T-top seems too short. I can slide it towards the front or the back, but it doesn't seem to seal both.

First of all, I imagine that it shouldn't slide right?

Second....anyone notice this before, or is it just me?

I have spent big bucks on a complet interior, and I won't let it get ruined by leaks.

I plan to replace the all the weatherstripping anyway.....but I was just curious.

well the t-tops weatherstripping kinda is sticking out alittle further on one of the ends and goes partially inside the other weatherstriping on the body.. to make a seal..

i am not sure it mine moves around..

do yours leak around those areas..

Yes that's exactly where it leaks. If I take a knee next to my door and look at the corners where the window glass contact the T-top weather stripping, I can see straight into the car! Not a lot of course, but enough that there's obviously not a seal.

I have the same thing with mine, but hopefully new weatherstripping and doors will fix it.
