Go to your local salvage yard and see what they price them at used. My buddy got 2 sets for $30 bucks for his 01. As not leaked since, and he as a spare(he got 2 in case 1 leaked).

The salvage yard dumped water on the camaro to see if they leaked be for selling, but doubt all will do this.

That or dish out $300-400 bucks.

P.S: I never take the t tops off mine, but then again i hate the look of camaro's with out them on.

Your money, i would never spend that for seals. Junk yard or good old silicon :p

I had good results with mine after cleaning the seals and the tops well, then leaving them off on a hot sunny day, and letting the tops sit out in the sun as well, (underside facing up) and get hot. Then put them on while everything is hot from the sun. I think the seal actually reconforms slightly. My drivers side top leaked, and I was able to remedy it this way.

Are your seals torn up, or just not fitting tight to the tops?
Have you tried adjusting the latches yet to tighten them down more?

latches seem to be to tight already i think and the seal are not ripped and they are still soft so im not sure what going on someone told me the drains might be clogged??
not sure where they are to try cleaning them though
