t-top leak
My t-top on the passenger side started to leak... started recently so it's still a very small leak. Was wondering if theres any cheaper, easier solution than replacing the weatherstripping.

Re: t-top leak
where is it leaking? i used some black silcone caulk to stop my leak, but that depends on where your leak is...

Re: t-top leak
the lube would have helped before it started leaking, but if it has started leaking, then it is probably already cracked, and will never seal without new weatherstripping

Re: t-top leak
use some vaseline, it works. dont glob it on, just enough to get the seals softend up so that they will seal.

Re: t-top leak
I guess it would depend on where she is wet... My t-tops leak in the high presure car wash. Or since I live in the PNW we get rain for weeks at a time coming down side ways and shit then my t-tops leak.

Re: t-top leak
yeah, to me the little leak, and wet butt syndrom is a fine price to pay for the T-tops, all T-top camaros will eventually leak, its a given, but i would say, if you can track down where its leaking, a little black silicone caulk on the crack will bide time, then replace them when it gets worse.

Re: t-top leak

GE translucent RTV 108 silicone rubber adhesive sealant, general purpose?

Re: t-top leak
there is a roll of this stick black stringy stuff that you can put onto your seals and it will compensate room in there and make a good seal if you apply it right. I have used it on a few cars before (never any of my f bodies) and it had always worked pretty well.
