Default doors and windshield leak

i replaced the weather stripping on my 90 gt with a kit from latemodel resto and now it leaks at the top and gets my seats soaked on both sides and the windshield leaks i think that because the front passenger side corner of the headliner gets soaked and gets the carpet on that side soaked. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

For the windshield pull the trim off (this requires a special tool) and inspect the seal for holes. as far as the doors go they could be leaking anywhere. Best thing to do is pull panel and everything off the door and run a hose over to door and look for leaks.

i was having the same problem, currently only my windshield leaks now but on the doors try adjusting your striker bolt ever so slightly to either bring the door in more or up more. in my case i had to bring it in and up and it worked like a charm

for your doors you may have to adjust where it sits or roll the window down and slightly bend the window frame to fit up more snug to the weather stripping. For the windshield you may be better off taking it to the local glass place and getting it reinstalled. they will remove it and clean everything up and apply new sealant and set it back in place.

I would almost bet that your hinges need new bushings too.

I have alot of noise coming from my windows, i replaced the door to body moldings, but its still loud. I figured out that its coming from the run channel molding(what the door glass rolls up into)....just something to consider.
