t-tops leak

Why the h3ll do t-tops leak. I just recently replaced my t-top seals, about a month and a half ago. But still they leak when i wash my car. Can anyone give me any info on this, or if i can find a place that makes a little bit bigger seal. Thanks.

There have been tons of posts on leaky t-tops in the body/interior board. Try to do a search and I'm sure you will find many soultions to your problem....the most common is probably sealing the crap out of it with silicon.

T-Tops on my Pulsar leak and it's because the body is ever so slightly warped where they latch in.

3rd gens are older cars... stuff like that just happens over time!

When i first got my car the t-tops were a little leaky. i just put a layer of vaseline around the weather striping for a better seal. It worked just fine. somethin u might wanna try.
