Just when I thought I fixed the T tops leak...

I had it good, I fixed everything, caulked everything, new weather stripping, , took apart the t tops themselves, they held the water back for 6 days, but on the 7th.... they opened up, my back floor boards are soaked WTF does it take? I cant do anything else! The worst part was I was dressed nice for a meeting and it dumped a ton of watter on the sholder and lap

Re: Just when I thought I fixed the T tops leak...

are you positive its the ttops leaking and not the seal around the back hatch?
Where is the water comming in from? Have you had someone soak the car with a hose while you sit inside and make sure where it's comming from?

Also, have you removed the plastic panels and physically adjusted the "slots/holes" that the ttops lock into. I had to adjust mine down a little bit to get a good seal.

It strange, the passenger one does NOT go all the way up but that side stays dry, the driver one is all the way up and tight and that one leaks

I'll try ajusting the round holder, they leak FAR less then they use ( I use to carry tarps and small buckets!!!) to but they've leaked since the day I bought it in 2002!
