Do you T Tops leak?

Guys, I forgot to mention that a guy from NAPA recommended me a product to stop the annoying leaks...It is call "Silicon Compound" made by NAPA, you should rub it with a cotton rag through the weather strips, it is awesome, in my case, it reduced a 90 % of the problem. It costs around $ 13.

Mine didn't leak when I first got the car, but it has started to do so now. I've spotted that it leaks between the seal and the roof, so I'm just going to silicone it and see how long it holds up. New seals are expensive, and the ones I have really look good, only it still leaks..

Odd that you should put this thread in the V6 forum, because only the t-tops on my V6 car leak!

Guys, I tell you......my T- Tops were a waterfall, I tried the regular silicon that you can get anywhere.......naaah .....it was the same thing......try this one, it does not become solid, it is always like gel, this guy told me that GM Dealer recommended this product for the Camaros.....pass it through all over the weather strips, also I rubbed it through the doors weather strips too., it prevents you to get sticky doors when is freezing outside. IF it does not work the first time, pass it again, in my case, it worked the first time.
