T top seals leaking in rear?

I put in new t top seals to try and fix some leaks but now I am getting a leak on the roof about 4 inches behind the t tops at a seam. I can not seem to find where the water is getting in. I have adjusted the t tops as low as they can go and it still leaks. I have the headliner removed so I can see where it is leaking but it’s at a seam so I cannot see in. When I run water on it it takes a minuet for the water to get in so I can’t pinpoint the spot it is getting in. Im honestly lost as to where the water can be getting in and am almost at the point as to converting it to a hard too even though I really would prefer to have the t tops. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: T top seals leaking in rear?

Did you put in the 3M rope caulk "bridge" between the ttop section and the vertical B pillar section?



Or, if the leak is coming from somewhere around the center of the car, did you seal the areas shown here?
