Re: t top seal adhesive

What adhesive are you going to use to secure your t-bar down? Just to share, I have used 3M's seamsealer and the it eventually dried up and water made it's way into the car again! So, this time I think I will use Permatex - Ultra Black silicone to hold the T-bar down. I have heard of a couple guys using this and they have had good results so far.
