Hey all,

So I haven't exactly been driving my car around much lately (it's a project), but what I thought was simply the windshield getting a little foggy during the cooler weather has turned out to be more. I decided to take a closer look at it when it looked as though water somehow got in. Surely enough, it did.

I already have crappy, beat up weatherstripping, and I thought that I had found all the leaks, but perhaps this one is due to bad t-top seals too? Drops of water seem to cover a large portion of the windshield in the car, and I never noticed it before. The car has been sitting for a little bit, so I suspect maybe it's a seal leak I just hadn't discovered earlier? I'm just curious if that's the likely culprit, or if there are other causes? Thanks!

 

If its leaking on the windshield its more than likely your windshield seal, not your t top seal...

 

If you think it's leaking from the T Tops(witch I don't think it is)put some 3M 08011 adhesive (where the rubber and the body)come together.Pull the rubber back a little and squeeze some adhesive between them,make sure it is in one bead NO VOIDS go all the way across the top from one door to the other.Be patient and let it dry for 24 hrs.before you put the tops back on.
Good luck.

 

Yeah, I'm starting to suspect the windshield seal over the t-top one myself, but eventually, I'm planning to re-weatherstrip the whole car (when it's paint/bodywork time), and I'm just wondering if maybe I'll need a new windshield seal of some type. Aren't the windshield seals typically pretty inexpensive anyway?

 

I know the sealing kit ain't cheep,I mean the whole kit,doors hatch,T Tops,I don't know about the windshield.Good Luck!!
