How do i fix i small leak in my 1989 T-Top?
ok so i just got my car yesterday and i was wanting to know if the T-Top leaks what are some ways i can fix the leak?
|
where does it drip at inside the car? mine leaked slightly on the drivers side and it dripped right on the side of the seat close to the door. i found a dry rotted place in the gasket and put a little dab of clear silicone on it and rubbed it in. its quit leaking for now, but it was a very minor leak. nothing beats replacing the gaskets with new ones. you can get the entire kit to do both sides from classic industries. its a little pricey at around $330, but its worth the headache and keeping your interior in good shape. but you may find them somewhere else cheaper.

thanks for repling. it leaks on the passenger side of the car right where it latches to the car and the drops land right on the side of the seat by the door.

your welcome man, you might try the silicone trick if it is a very minor leak, but i dont know of any other ways, other than new ones. i believe almost anyone who has ever owned a t-top third gen has had this problem

Please post pics of your car...Is it new?...

This same question was asked by someone else in another thread: https://camaroforums.com/forum/82-92-general-10/how-fix-leaking-t-tops-38256/
I'll give the same answer I gave there... The front and rear t-top pin receivers (in the roof) are adjustable. You need to pop off the trim panels, slightly loosen the two screws that holds each receiver, tap it down a little with a drift and hammer, and re-tighten the screws. Doing that will pinch the top seals tighter to the roof. |
Thank you guys for your help. i will see where the leak is comen from soon as it stops raining in freaken springfield mo

That is cool, i didnt know that. i will keep that in mind if mine ever start leaking again. which im sure they will.:(
