87 t-top to top of body strip
Okay i'm not sure what its called. It doesn't come as any normal weather stripping kit. I'm not even sure its weather stripping, its more similar to the black rubber peices that go across the doors and body for looks. But this about 1 inch thick, and goes from door to door right behind the t-top area. When I wash the top of my car where it's painted i noticed it bends in and that its seperated from this black rubberish peice. I'm not sure if its removable and I can just put new double sided water proof tape or what. Or if its a part I can replace all together that comes with new stuff to readhesive it to the body. I know rain is getting inside as it seems to get to the head liner area, and its making it fall down. I'v attached a picture with an arrow, and a yellow box around the exact part and area i'm refering too. If you have any advice on what's the best way to fix this or if there a new part i can get, and how to remove the old one let me know.
seems the picture is only attached as a small thumbnail, but it will allow you to click it to open it up to a bigger picture of it.
this thread is also under the 4 cylinder as it is the 4 cylinder option, but I want to make sure everyone views this to help me body wise.

mattdel its not that part, that part goes on the inside channel were the t-tops are. The spot that leaks is on the outside black strip that attaches to the roof of the car. looking at the picture its the right side of the black area attached to the red roof. That picture is a generic picture I found online, what i'll do is go home and take a picture with the roof pushed down so you can see the exact hole i'm talking about and what part i'm refereing too.

Picture would be helpful. I'm in the middle of redoing mine right now. The thing you circled is just a piece of trim. It sounds like you're in need of new weather strip or adjustments.

The description of the link I posted reads like it's what you need:
"The felt weatherstrip protects against wind noise and direct exposure to rain on your 1981-1988 Ford Mustang T-Top. Located at the front and rear edge of the roof where the T-top meets the body and running the total width of the roof. When worn, the orange/blue rubber bead is usually visible and the felt is torn. 2 required per car."
