Wetter inside than out

I have and 88 Firebird w/ t-tops. How do you stop water pouring in from the roof and when the wipers swish it in through even a slightly cracked drivers side window. I feel I need to don a full wet suit when driving my car in the rain. (I wont even mention how the t-tops leak). Really just want to know if there's some sort of rain shield/guard that can be attached to the car somewhere/somehow. I'm guessing not as there's no part on the car body to attach a guard to, unless something could be rigged up on the t-top. As a smoker I have a real quandry, smoke - or stay dry!

You smoke in your bird?!?! *GASP* :eek:

Just kidding, I feel ya on the t-top leak tho, had to pay $1600 to get new seals made for mine, seeing as how they were aftermarket and the company that made them no longer exists. :shakehead

Thanks for the un-encouragement :wink: . Your seals cost more than my whole car! I can stop the water pouring in from the t-tops by closing a large plastic bag in each door and over the t-tops. Doesn't work if I'm mobile tho. Still trying to find a solution to the water pouring in off the roof, onto my lap, during a downpour and I have the window open.

Try putting silicone on the gaskets. I did this with my brother's 87 ta, it stopped the leak and softened up the gaskets a little bit.

If the window is open you're going to get wet. The way the car slopes and the curves it has makes it impossible to even crack the window and not have water pour all over you. My suggestion is give up the cigarette in the car if its raining. As far as T-tops go, replace the seals. They cost an arm and a leg but thats the only way you can really fix that leak. Silicone rarely works and just makes a mess of what's there making a proper fix in the future that much harder. Unless the area where the seals fit into is rusted, seal replacement should fix the problem. Good luck either way.

The silicone I'm thinking about is a spray on application similar to wd40, except its designed for window and door gaskets. I got it from a friend who installs auto glass.
