[96greenmachine]

ive tried and tried and tried to fix it but it just wont keep from leaking on the passenger side ive tried silicone in several places and still leaks it seems to me that water gets inside the plastic and then fills then leaks out the front and rear corners on the roof can someone tell me how to fix it or where silicone should be applied to stop it? its really doing a number on my floor board..

Re: t-tops still leak....

what plastic are you talking about? on the t top? i would say take apart the t top and adjust the molding. same thing with all the molding around the doors.

there is a few screws in the top plastic that come out and let u slide the molding around...kristen u explain it to him u helped me with myne :D

Re: t-tops still leak....

just like oi said, that out to 4 screws, and then you will need a (i believe)7mm. lossen those up and they will let u adjust your weather striping. it just need to be moved a hair in one directions. so before you start, you should do a water test. get a cup of water and poor it on one corner and see if it leaks, and then the other corner. that way you know which way the moding has to go.

usaully leaks out the rear corner but when u drive it, it just comes out both corners so...hows that work? it really doesnt leak bad but when it rains all day and my car sits well the back seat floorboard on the p.side gets a butt load of water on it

Re: t-tops still leak....

then i would work on moving the weather striping around the door frame too. you just have to play with it. if it looks kinda beat up then i would get new striping

Re: t-tops still leak....

thats the thing, u cant "see" anything wrong with it and i can compare the sides and cant see no difference but yet the p.side still leaks and whats funny is the driver side theres a big gap between the door and window and it dont leak, but the passenger side it doesnt have that gap and it does leak...these t-tops are weird lol

Re: t-tops still leak....

it could just be leaking threw the front when you drive cause the water is moving around. i would play with the back first!! now go do it before it rains again
