t-top seals

Hi! I am looking to waterproof my car as much as possible. Theres alot of different terms for the different seals, and I need to know which to buy. So far, I need to replace the t-top weatherstripping (seals for under the t-tops) and the door seals (rubber that hangs over the window from the t-top). Is there any other seals I would need to buy?

Does anyone have any recommendations for weatherstripping kits or companies, whatnot?

Does anyone have a guide to replacing the weatherstripping on t-tops, with pictures?

Thanks!

Re: t-top seals

HI, most of the guys out here like the original GM & Metro seals. We carry both brands.The Metro ones fit well and are less expensive than the GM ones. The one thing I strongly suggest on a T-Top car is, on the T-Top section stick with the same manufacturer on the glass pieces.All of the pieces are manufactured to fit together so that there are no gaps for water to leak through.

Here's a link to the weatherstrip section on our site.

Re: t-top seals

all those are pretty expensive, and so is the set from GM. $400 is a bit much. Hawks offers a set for around $200, and theres one on ebay for $180 shipped. Anyone tried any of these?
