T-top weatherstrip question..
So the rubber strip that runs along the edge of the T-top on my IROC is all hard and curled. When I shut the door the window hits the outside of it and pins the rubber under the window. I have to hold it up with my thumb to get the door shut.
Is this piece of rubber replaceable? If so what's it called and where's a good place to get it?
Thanks!

Yes it can be replaced. It's called a drip edge and I got mine on e-bay. You have to take the plastic trim off the underside of the t-top and then remove the main gasket to get to them.

They look good Bob. I also noticed the other day my passenger side top was leaking. The water was dripping from the top of the A pillar between the front of the top and the end of the pillar. Could this drip edge be the cause? I pulled the top off and the rubber seal around the top was still dry and sealing so it's not that rubber.

Re: T-top weatherstrip question..
All this will do is to let the water drip of the top when the window is cracked open. The leak you're describing sounds like water is getting between the A pillar seal and the metal. Its hard to tell with these tops. You might need to have someone run the hose lightly in that area while you're inside to trace it.
