Default Vert top weatherstrip replacement ?

Okay, I have tried everything I can think of to stop the leaks in my vert top on my 00. It's a constant drip drip onto my seats on both sides. I have adjusted windows inward. Adjusted top. Adjusted latches. Lubed weatherstriping, used RTV. Nothing has worked even though inspection shows no obvious reason for it to leak. I am now looking to replace all the weatherstripping at the ridiculous prices I am seeing. My question is, who has replaced theirs and were you happy with the result? Did you also replace the retainers or use the old ones? Thanks for your help.

I've had a few verts now and they ALL leak somewhere no matter what you do. It's part of the joy of a Vert, T-tops used to be worse.
