The stang II

Ok I have a 1978 V8 Mustang II with T tops. We installed new weather stripping ourselves on the T-tops and wheere the door shuts. Ok well, on my passenger side T-top it leaks through the t top by the head rest area right next to the window, but through the t top.

Then. My windows don't touch the weather stripping on the T top for both windows. and lets water go through it. I have about 8 towels in my car and today afterschool, every one was dripping wet.

So the top part of both my windows do not touch the weatherstipping on the T top. It's not a HUGE gap but you have to look closely to notice it. We are thinking bout taking the t tops off, and now since the weather stripping has aged a lil (4 months) it's not as puffy so we are going to take them off and put them back on which will hopefully make my windows touch.

Also the water when it leaks throught the t top doesn't go around the weather stripping but goes through the t top and leaks in my car. We are going to Re calk it so that won't happen anymore.

But my main question is what would you guys do? Because i'm sick of it!!! We put new carpet in it too, so I don't want tmy carpet to get all wet and moldy and smell like the old one. ALSO just sick of having to worry at school when it rains and don't know how bad my car is leaking and am always worrying and hate when it rains because it leaks considerbly.

sounds like u need to remove the door panels and adjust the glass also how are the door pins? do the doors drop down alot when u open them? is the striker adjusted properly also on ttop seal u can put a thin coat of grease on the seal to keep out wind noise and minor leaks

I will think about taking the door panels and adjusting the window. My dad doesn't want to "****" with the window because it's not something he has that much skill in. But we will figure something out.

My door pins are adjusted properly. And yea we were thinking about put a thin coat of something on my t top seals, I don't care if I have to seal it off completely so I can't take it out, I jus want it to stop.
