PearlJammzz, here is a picture of what Aaron is taking about. They are the Eccentric Rod Guides Type-B (off center). The ones that came on the car are type-a in the picture.



They helped me a out a lot with my leak.

Here's a link to the thread I originally posted that in. Check it out, it's dedicated to leaky t-tops.

Water Leak, Wet rear floor pan...T-Top, Drain tube?? Help Please!!

Here's a link to the post, 5th picture down.

Even if you get the seals, I recommend these. They make a huge differance, allowing you to adjust the t-tops tighter in 1 of 4 directions. They easily allowing you to adjust the fit and alignment of the t-tops. For $7.32 for a set of 4 they are well worth it

Also try ShinEtsu Grease from Honda. It's a silicon grease and won't rot the seals like vasiline. Same idea as the vasiline trick to stock leaks, but it's safe for seals...this is what it's made for. Not sure if Aaron can get that for you (don't know if Lithia has a Honda dealership or not), but it's not very expensive, so I'd pick that up too.
