what do you use?
After hearing about the water problems with the T-Tops ...
What do you recomend to keep the seals on your car in good shape?
And how often do you treat them? or do you at all?

Don't worry about the t-top seals or windshield wipers. They are for decoration only.
Just don't drive the car in rain.

I use the GM silicone grease. It keeps the rubber pliable and looking like new. You can get it at any Chevy dealer.

Has anyone actually made their vette leak free, even after replacing all the weather stripping? I doubt it.

I also use the GM Silicone Grease on my 68 and it keeps the rubber soft and pliable.

moi ------------
I used all NOS stuff..........
not a single drop in the car when it rains..
As for taking care of the WS, I use a 3M product. It is a silicon ONLY gel. Works great for keeping the WS soft.
