T-Top Seals
Not the ones that leak, the ones that you see on the outside that go around the glass. I've purchased the door and top seals that typically leak, but my external seals are just plain ugly, and coming apart.

GregV says these are not available separately, so I'm wondering if anyone has a reasonable solution? They won't be easy to replace as they're one-piece and molded around the tops. But no resto is good without them.

I'm even game to buying a whole set of t-tops that have good seals...like, some that have been sitting in someone's basement for 20 years...

Ideas appreciated.

I have been trying to figure this out also. I don't get leaks, but all the rubber on the car is disintegrating so badly that it runs black crap down all over the white car if it gets wet. Every single NX needs all these exterior pieces replaced at this point, and NONE of them are available from Nissan.

There must be a company that could start making some kind of replacement for us, anything to replace this rotten mess...

yeah if i run my nx through an automated car wash, i gotta take a towel with me for the passenger side cause it leaks like a siv. as far as when it rains though, it is a slow leak. so a solution to this problem would be awesome. you would think somewhere nissan would still have the plans for all the weather stripping and seals. but i know someone can figure this out. id work on it if i had the time.

I actually have a set that has been in my closet for years, and every now and then I relube the seals. Thats for when I eventually do the body work and rust repair.
