Default Leaking Targa Top?

I was worried about taking off my targa for the first time. I already had leakes on both sides where the door window, windsheild and targa top all meet and was afraid of horrible leaks once I took the top off.

I pulled off the top and wiped down the worn weatherstripping with spray silicone. Have had the top off a couple of times including all day yesterday.

Well, today it rained, and guess what? NO LEAKS!!!
I just keep getting happier and happier with my first 'Vette.

Likely true, except for the Green 94s.

Glad your leaks are improved; it's too much fun to pop the targa top off!

Regards,
