T-top leaks on 1971
I've heard it a million times: "They all leak!"
Well, I'm open to your experiences with solving the notorious leakage problem.
I seem to have a leak in front and back. The front leaks drip on the center of the floor mat where the knees would be. I suspect the water runs down the pillar sides, finds it's way past the door seal to the bottom of the dash.
For the rear leak, I suspect the water follows the top channel line in the chrome trim to the back arch, then seeps through mini cracks in the arch before drunning down the bottom.
Does any one have a sure remedy for what ails my favorite machine?!
Thank you.
Tony

I was able to slow mine down a good bit by siliconing the back valley that you mentioned and the crack in the front between the T trim and the window trim. But I removed the T trim first and inspected all metal and treated for rust.
