    Thanks so much for your videos. I like the straightforward style you use to explain everything, it's very helpful without all the extra fluff. I just saw your video on the door weatherstripping and sound dampening, I can't wait for my seals to arrive so I can do mine. Thanks for all your help!

    Very great video, wish my project was this easy but my seal channel was so rusted out, there were so many holes-I used metal reinforced filler to redo the channel, then our city does not sell weatherstrip adhessive so we just used an all purpose black silicone...just used a thin layer and smoothen it out...everything worked out...

    Used to have an 80-something Z28 Camaro with the 5.0L HO engine, 5-speed manual, and t-tops. Loved that car. But the t-tops leaked bad. I always kept a few towels on the seat for when it rained. Lol

    I was considering doing this before the winter bc my passenger side top isn't tight. It sits really low and has some movement if I wiggle it while latched but if I have to glue new seals in then maybe this is better for when the car is redone.

    Do you leave the trim pieces off for a week when letting the seals form or put them on them let it set with trips and door closed for a week?

    How many 5oz. 3M weatherstrip adhesive tubes would you need for both driver and passenger T-Top seal? Is one enough? I'm planning out all the materials I need for my repair.
    And thank you for the great video, it will help me out a lot when I do this job.

    • @3rdGenGuy

      Doesn't take much adhesive. i didn't even use 1/4 of the tube i had.

      @@3rdGenGuy Thank you for the quick reply.
      Two more questions, do you recall where (online or in-store) you bought the new push pins and the their part number/reference? Or was it just a generic push pin and just get one that matches the old one?
      I have trouble finding new push pins online and I may end up reusing the ones when I do the job.

      basically ya.
      it's to ensure everything stays put as the glue fully cures.
