The only really permanent way to fix t-top leaks is to replace the seals.

I replaced my seals, and it still leaks a little bit, but not as much as it used to.

I would first replace the seals that are actually mounted on the T-top itself. Those tend to shrink with age, and are the cheapest part of the seals to replace, roughly $80 bucks for a set. If it still leaks, then i would replace the main seals that are on the body of the car.
