I just did this the other day and used your video thanks. I have a question I bought the weather stripping a few years ago, forgot from who I got it. But now the T tops were impossible to close so I bought the shim kit and now they close but stick up a bit is that normal.

Here's a video hope you can make it out how they stick up. I think I am going to rip it all out and redo it.

The weatherstrip, if it's the imported or silica based rubber design available it's too hard and will not collapse. There are so many vendors making these weatherstrips now its hard keeping score of who is making what.. but we get samples sent in all the time and I always stick with CRC. The CRC stuff is softer and while it may make the roof panel bug tight, it will relax over a two week time frame. Normally we don't need any shimming when we install.

Your door glass at the 13 second mark look like it's way out of adjustment too. Almost like its not sitting in the pillar groove. Is this right or am I just seeing it wrong in the video?

I'll call you tomorrow and order new weather strip and the glass might of been out when painted so it probably needs adjustment.

You should get that adjusted before you install the T-top weatherstrip. The glass should be sitting in the correct place when you adjust the outer edge of the t-top weatherstrip.
