Most likely, it is leaking at the plastic pieces at the top of the door, at each outside edge of the T-Top. You can replace the seal under the plastic pieces with roofing seal. You have to remove the screws and then the plastic pieces. Then clean everything that is part of the sealing process, with Q-tips and lacquer thinner (except the new sealant material). Cut the piece that you need to replace with a little excess to hang out of the edges.
I bought this peal and stick sealant stuff at WalMart.
Sorry, I don't have any pictures of where this goes-maybe later today-

Also make sure the internal drain holes aren't clogged. If they get clogged, then you are going to have leaks.2005 GTO (mine) K&N CAI and Magnaflow exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors, and other minor mods.

The recommended restoration of t tops is to treat the weatherstripping with silicon spray once a day for one week, or use a special gel made specifically for revitalizing weatherstripping. Using either of these make sure that the t tops are and can remain dry for the process.
weatherstripping costs over a hundred bucks, a can of silicon spray costs $1.75 at walmart. Take your pick.1982 Trans am w/ t-tops
