Re: t-tops leaking

I read that if they are aftermarket weatherstrip then they will most likely leak. Factory ones are the way to go but cost more $$. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Also I read that if they still leak even with new factory weatherstrip, then you could have other issues on hand.

Re: t-tops leaking

Where is the water coming in from? At the door glass/t-top seam? Try adjusting the mounting brackets to tighten the t-tops more against the weatherstripping.
