The T-top option was not dropped until a very early 1988. Dont know how rare cars with that option would be though. I hear that the coupe w/ T-tops are pretty rare.

It's not super rare but they are definitely less common than a hard top GT. From what I hear they can be a complete PITA.

I'm the only 84 t-top in my area (that i know of)

But yes, my tops are a PITA! i love them, but i hate them at the same time... they leak really really bad.

And the seals were supposedly brand new when i bought the car.. they look new i don't know if its just a common problem or what.

Eitherway, i'm going to be buying new seals for mine, because when it rains it pours inside my car if im driving [:@]

I had an '82 GT with T-tops and never had a problem with it leaking. I did put silicone on the rubber part regularly to help keep it from drying out.
I sold it four years ago to a car collector. This is what it looked like when I sold her;

I know exactly what you mean... I had a 82GT T-Top for along time and it was always a struggle with the leaky tops. I loved the car when I had the t-tops out but when they were in I hated it................
