leaking
T top is leaking on my baby. Looking at it, I was about to replace the seals, when someone pointed out to me the most obvious thing was missing. On the tops there is a little strip of rubber that is actually on the top itself that covers the weatherstripping. It's completely missing on the side that leaks. Looking as to why it leaked, it seems that the stripping has a very small spot (quarter of an inch maybe) where the strips dont meet up. I havn't fully checked it it's like that on the other side, but even if it did, that strip that covers the stripping would theoretically let water run off and avoid that gap between. On the side that leaks, obviously without that there, there is a very tiny spot where water can leak in. Terrible. :(
Anyone know if it's possible to just buy the strip in question that's missing without buying an entire t-top seal replacement kit? I may do it anyway just to be sure it's all in good condition, but if that strip will make the difference and it isnt too expensive I may just try that first.
