fixed a bothersome air leak
Seems my passenger window had a bad seal at the back of the window by the halo. Heard it when I was riding shotgun with my son driving.
Today I pulled the two push pins at the bottom of the weatherstripping. One of them is tucked under a flap in the weatherstripping. Pulled the weatherstripping lose from the targa. I pushed a 8 in piece of 1/4 in rubber tubing into the weatherstripping through the flap covering the push pin. This made the window seal tight to the weatherstripping while still being flexible.
Got the idea from Wheeler Dealers, thanks Ed China.

Fun show to watch and sometimes learn a new trick or two. Would never have thought of putting the rubber tube in there to make the gasket thicker allowing a better seal.
