    Hardtop leaking halp!

    Does anyone know where to weather stripping for it? Recently my top started to leak where the top of the door meets the top and the windshield. Or maybe there's a way to adjust the top so it's tighter in the front? Anyone else have this problem?

    Try lowering the rear and/or seeing if the front latch screws are loose. If it still leaks break out your check book and cry. New Seal PN: 54211962050

      Are the seals unique to the hardtop or would any of the seals off my spare soft top work (like the front seal in particular) ?

            it just seems that its sitting crooked and when i attach the front latches it doesn't seem to be tight enough. It is possible to replace the actual locks on the windshield? They seem to be worn down

              Yes, they are the same as the ones on the hardtop.

                Yeah, my hardtop leaks there too (driver side only), but only when stopped and slanting to the left.

                  I would fiddle with the adjustment of the rear locks first. if you want the left front to sit tighter you'll need to back off the right rear a bit, tighten down the left rear more and then adjust. Park on slant and have your garden hose handy..lol
