t top trick for leaking

I heard from a friend that coating the seal with baby oil will help stop a leaky t top. Anyone try this?

Nope, my t-tops dont leak....the windows, on the other hand.....I would think all baby oil is doing is causing the rubber to swell, which is good, but dont know how long it would last...

Yeah, my t tops don't really leak. Its more of where the window meets the rubber on the t top.

If you have a leaky t-top, you could always adjust (lower) the pin receivers in the frame to make the top pinch down tighter against the seal.
Yeah I know, not nearly as "practical" as the baby oil fix, butt still!
