Rain and T-tops

Well I had the car out of storage for 3 days and the rain started, An d My weather stripping inst holding up at all, and is leaking on both the driver and passanger side. It is moslty leaking on the front part of the windo and the top of the windsheild. Circled in pic

So where can I get the best weather striping at, And how much is it going to cost me. Is there some brands I should stay away from. And once I get this new weather stripping, how do I take off the old and install the new.

Yup, You can get the 8-piece GM t-top set for $181.65 + 36.33 S&H from GMPD. The part number is 10164133.

You may want to call and confirm that it will fit your car, but I think that it will.

well you just might need to adjust the front moutning holes so the t-tops presses harder on the rubber weatherstripping to make a better seal.

I'll try that, right now my hole is all the way to the top. But the strip the runs down the fron window doesnt overlap the window any more. The window just press it down instead of going under the lip. And the top corner (that I have circled) is all dry and craking. I'll go to GM dealer today and see if I can order it (I have connections)

Thanks
