This is another write up I am doing on how to stop your tops from leaking from the door seals.I should charge for this info....Anyways it is very simple and I have tested my car vigorously to make sure it doesn't leak.

Flooding the top of my car with a hose and 2 weeks of raining and the tops have still not leaked.Edit::still has not leaked to this date of 7-31-9...

You will need a roll of electrical tape and a razor blade..

All you do is put the tape in layers one on top of another 6 to 7 times on the seal located on the T-top itself where it touches the seal on the door jam.

Take the top off the car.Flip the top over and put one piece of tape horizontally starting at the bottom of the seal, then another piece over lapping the first piece slightly, then repeat starting at the bottom again.do this 6 to 7 times for a tight seal...then cut away the side of the tape to match the groves of the seals..it should look like this..

Edit:New pics- so you can see better..
