rain = t tops

[jsviking08]

I did the t top conversion on my 95 camaro and have only one leak. It is on the drivers side. the water drips onto the front of the door next to the a/c vent. Can anyone tell me how to fix this stupid leak?

Yeah I have the same problem on both sides with both my 02 and 98 Camaros. They're also factory T-tops so it looks like you did a perfect job. Heh, but yeah like greasemonkey said.. and if I bothered to ever fix mine, i'd replace the weatherstripping.

Mine has a tiny leak towards the front vent/window area on the driver's side. Take a look at your window alighnment and weather stripping.

weatherstripping is likely fine.


Go buy some black RTV sealant. Lift up the weatherstripping, and put it under where the 4 little plastic "guides" are on the 4 corners of the roof. This is where the water is channelled then it goes down to the door. If water gets underthis it will leak in the car. Its sealed with a type of glue stuff when its new.


When I did my conversion my car leaked like the titanic for a day(rained the entire day after my conversion. Then I sealed them, only leaked occasionally going through hi-pressure automatic car washes. Didn't even leak in hurricanes.

when i did my conver. i just played with it till it stoped. i did alot of bondo work on make it look stock, and i put built it higher up on that side so the weather striping met more flush.

Re: rain = t tops

Is it actually a leak or slow drip? I've noticed that when it rains I get a slow drip down my windows. It's not actually a leak to my knowledge, instead it just builds up in the seam of the window when I open the door and drips in when I'm driving/in the car.
