my t tops leak pretty bad
i was wondering how many people on here have replaced the seals on their t tops, mine leak in the corners where the t tops meet the car on the outer side. i was wondering if anyone else had leaks like this and if the seals helped i really dont want to spend $300 on seals and them still leak the exact same.
right above the back arrow is where mine leak on both sides and on the front in the same area on both sides

May just need sealer between weather strip and body.
Can use black RTV sealer. Use blue painters tape so it doesn't get all over everything .... if you got a garage, leave tops out for a day or two so it dries well.
If the seals are cracked and shot, then its time for new.

I would install new weatherstrip. BTW - those are C&C t tops. Make sure you get the right weatherstrip if you replace it.
