t-top leak

Post by burner563 » Fri Nov 07, 2014 3:33 pm

My t-tops leak at the front corner where the t-top meets the a-pillar and the door windows. Best way of sealing the gap/ adjusting the seal?

I don't have t tops myself but I would always suggest replacing the seals as a starting point. If they are Old they will have probably shrunk back a bit and allowed the gap where water is penetrating. Sort it soon as the T-top frame is a notorious and expensive to fix rust area.

Ebay is worth looking at. Sometimes some decent priced ones come up
