I have a 94 3.4 v6 too, and I have the same problem. Mine aren't bad yet, but they have developed a leak...

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-

BTW, you may only have to fix the rear seal. I would fix those first, and then check it to see if you still have leaks-If you do, then fix the front ones-

Also make sure the internal drain holes aren't clogged. If they get clogged, then you are going to have leaks.

thanks for the info

I tried a method of rebuilding the current seal with black silicone in which I found on f-body.org....I tried it out and no leaks....so far....I'll try anything not to get soaked at the car wash again!

if you want, you can have mine. It's from my 95 T/A and it never leaked. I have no use for it since I'm picking up my 'new' 95 and this one is on the way to the boneyard.

Just PM me...you take care of the shipping and it's yours

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.
