Leaky t=tops:(

I took my car to a carwash,the kind where you spray it and it leaks on the passenger side and drivers side where the top of the door glass meets the corner of the t-top at the windshield corner,more on the passenger side then the drivers side,would silicone fix this??Or where can I get new seals for the tops where it meets the top of the door???

I'm not sure if this will work for your situation but all you might have to do is adjust you window to go up further to make a better seal.

You could also adjust the T-Tops to be pulled in tighter when you lock them. Slightly lower the locking clips on the a-pillar b-pillar. Overadjusting will cause squeaks. After you lower the clips, you might still need to replace the weather seal on the under side of the t-top.

To make your window go higher up you need to take your interior door panel off. Look at the glass, there will be white round stoppers on them. Then look on the door. there are adjustable metal stoppers. when you put the window up the white stoppers on the glass meet the metal stoppers and the window stops. so you adjust the metal stopper to let the window go up further. This is a little bit tricky and might take some time.

one other thing you might try, is when I close my doors, the window catches the weatherstrip and pinches it between the window and the a-pillar. now, when I go to wash it, roll the window down first and then roll it back up to make sure it seats in the weatherstrip
