I had T-Tops on my 81 Z-28, 87 IROC and 91 Z-28, none of them leaked.

Yeah - the ones in my 86 (didn't leak, by the way) had locks and I'd never put them on without making sure they were latched and locked.

3rd gens are a design flaw, 4th is much improved. I'm really confident you can correct your issue with some careful adjustment for the paltry sum of free.

Oh yeah, well I forgot to pin my hood one day and my hood flew up and smashed the windshield and shattered the driver side t-top and I swear that phucker turned into powered glass. That was a costly mistake. I scored a t-top pretty cheap though. Dented the tbar area and everything.

Moral of the story, dont forget to pin your hood if you have pins.

The real bitch was I was on the highway sitting in stop and go traffic and exited because traffic was going to slow. I hit about 40mph on the off ramp and BAMO!
