  • T-Top Bar Leaks :(

    Well I pealed back the weatherstripping at the t-top bar to see why water was comming in around my headliner and I found Rust... The front of the t-top bar is rusting out at least at the front. The rust isn't bad, I am hoping I can fill it with something.

    Just replace the bar (what I mentioned in the shoutbox).

          They all leak...it's a third gen. I've gotten mine down to a very minimal leak now, but they still will leak under a hard rain like we had down in Indy or at the Berger show. It's the one bad thing about my car I cannot not change.....if I could it would be a hardtop.

            Yeah, but a rotted out t-bar will make it RAIN in the car...

                          Wow, you are truly lucky there. Then again, I believe my weatherstripping was original on my car - except the center bar was rusted...found that out when I replaced the probably-fine weatherstripping...

                            I had a third gen and mine leaked also, as a matter of fact the leak rotted the car away. Never will i own a t-top car again.
