I installed a new T Top seal kit from Hawks. All seals well except right where the T Top seal meets the roof/door seal in the front and back corners, under the drip rail, especially on the drivers side. There is a gap there and it usually leaves a nice area for water to get in. Its almost like the T Top seal is a tiny bit too short. I tried adjusting the window so that the window top pushes harder into the seal, but this makes the gap worse.




Any hints on how to eliminate this gap?

 

Going to assume that all seals have been correctly installed in their respective channels.

Have the t-top seals that go on the body of the car ever been replaced? I've found the t-top side seals that go on the t-tops themselves line up differently to the body seals, depending on manufacturer. It's typically difficult (if not sometimes impossible) to get one manufacturer's t-top side seals to line up with another manufacturer's on-body seals. I had HUGE gaps on both sides after replacing my on-body seals with Soffseal, after using Metro for the t-top side seals just a few years earlier. Replaced my side seals with the same brand, now they line up nicely.

 

Yes, all new seals all the way around. I actually used the full kit from Hawks. It just seems like the T Top side seals are short by II this much on the front and the back.
