t-top weatherstripping

Can anyone tell from my pictures what I need to replace?






The passenger side is obviously bad, but the driver side looks fine to me. Yet, both sides leak, so I am confused.

I'm on a tight budget at the moment, I have about $50 to spend.


I'm looking at these (hoping I only need 1 of them)

Buy one side at a time, definitely need the Right side(drip edge and weatherstrip)

I haven't seen anywhere selling 1 side for a reasonable price (correct me if I'm wrong)

Is this part that I circled the drip edge, and the rubber part below that the weatherstrip?

A thousand-dollar-car, even after you spend the next thousand, is still a thousand-dollar car.

If you only have $50 to spend, you are not prepared for the project.

I'm not trying to go crazy(maybe in the future), just trying to not get leaked on when I start my first job next week.

Drip edge is whats needed. Ttop weatherstrip can be done late. I got mine at hawks. A 100 bucks for both or near there. Shop around contact the manufacturers. Replace the worse and go from there
