Default 90 Convertible-Window Adj, Air Leaks

I have a 90 Convertible that I put a new top on last year. I also installed new weatherstripping. The air leaks are terrible with noticeable gaps. Does anyone have a success story here?

Brand of weatherstrip? All or single pieces, who installed top, what brand, what fixes have you tried?

Metro (MMP) weatherstripping. All pieces. There are large gaps around the window. It doesn't look like adjusting the window will help. I almost need an oversized weatherstripping.

You're the latest victim of aftermarket weathersteripping, there is no fix. Consider it money invested in learning. Rip it off and buy gm expensive stuff. Always search the forum for info like this to save you money, sorry!
