Default wondow molding question and strut tower brace?

hey guys,
the small triangle piece of wheaterstripping on my car is half ripped out and it leaks water in the car. could this be it? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS

the piece is inbetween the window and the door and by the top furthest part back inbetween the top horizontal and vertical piece.

also, I wanted to ask about strut tower braces, If you have one how do you like it?
Did it change anything? My car has a lot of miles on it and Im looking to stiffen the chassie with subframe connectors, strut tower brace and soon new shocks struts and ford racing c springs. Does this sound good to you guys?
thanks in advance

Can't help you with the molding, but I have a strut tower brace on my 2005.
It's the 3-point brace from Edelbrock, bought it at autoanything.com.

My convertible's handling improved significantly on bumpy roads and rough pavement.
