Weatherstripping for T tops doesn't fit great. Door doesn't close right.
Hello everyone this is my first post here. I've been installing or at least trying to install new t top weatherstripping on my roof for my Camaro.
Spent hours trying to get them to fit and after trial and error I thought I had them right. My t top latched into place but just barely. Thought I finally figured it out and glued them down.
But the corner where the two screw holes meet is off. I believe this is for the trim piece if i remember correctly.
But my biggest concern is that when I tried to shut the door the window just hits the bottom of the drip edge on the t top itself.
And the seals don't touch the glass too well. But at this point I can't say for sure as the door doesn't shut all the way due to hitting the drip edge.

This is my first time doing anything remotely like this. So any help is welcome.

That small bracket should be adjustable by loosening the two nuts. Also make really sure the seal is tucked in all the way on both sides.Its easy not to install it all the way.The fit on that inner corner in the second pic looks worse though. Sometimes people stretched the material as they installed it resulting in "extra" weather stripping when you get to the end. Make sure you dont pull/stretch as you install it.Hope that isnt glue in yet.
Sometimes i will put the ends/corners in place to help me gauge better if in pulling the material too much or too little (ive done that too).What brand are those?
