    ATTN: T-top converters...

    I got this idea from someone a while back and just now decided to do it.

    Those who have done the conversion know how the 'seam' of where the cut was made in the fiberglass to remove the roof from the B-pillar is uneven and kinda tacky when looked at up close. Well, after 14 months of t-tops coming in and out the paint has started to flake off, exposing the white fiberglass underneath.

    So here's what I did. I got some of that black plastic/rubber Trimbrite door edge trim from Checker Auto for $3.99, and slipped it over the edge of the b-pillar. It looks soooo much better now, and the rear seals up to the top better too. That should help reduce the leak on my driver rear corner.

    Check it out: (the before pics were actually halfway thru when I realized I should probably take some pics ;) )

            put gasket sealant under your weatherstripping where it screws down. mine leaked until i did that...no more leaks and i've been in a few floods since then.
