Default Hardtop leaks...Nebraska

I've got a 99 hardtop with the usual leaks...around the windows, water that comes in behind the seats from the area where the roof meets the doors, etc. I was wondering if there is a good place in Nebraska or western Iowa to get that fixed or if anyone has any suggestions of how to go about it. The local dealership here in Grand Island wasn't much help and I've searched extensively about this and can't find any real good illustrations on how to fix it. Any input would help.

You could try replacing the parts yourself (check here). Or try giving Rich a call at C&S Motorsports. Click here for their website. Good luck.

Replacing the weatherstripping isn't hard.. just a little expensive. Expect to pay ~$500-$600 minimum.

I replaced the targa sides and b pillar and the cheapest I could find was $450 for the 3.

I have four or five Word files that talk about water leaks on the C5. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send them to you.
