Leaky t tops
 
I dont have a lot of money and am looking for the cheapest place to purchase t-top gaskets or way to stop em from leaking thanks

subframe connectors might stop the leaking. i put a cage in my car and it hasnt leaked!

take the t top apart and silicon under/around the rubber trim. cheap and worked for me.

leaky t-tops were a standard option an all 3rd gens.

New weatherstripping doesnt always help, mines all new, and still leaks, pretty bad actually. I should probably figure out where its getting in someday.

Thanks everyone

make sure they are lined up correctly. The mounts in the front and back are slightly adjutable. mine where out of wack and i fixed those and that cured 99% of the water. BTW..hardtop is ftw

I just found out the other day how bad my t-tops leaked! Drivers side interior was soaked. Eh, what do you want for under $2000. Ill be siliconing tomorrow. I dont want to waste new gaskets only to rip them off next winter when I fix up the whole car.
