Guest ON3GO Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 on my Z32's t-tops i used all purpose caulking (sp?) kinda like JB weld.. worked awesome. abd welcome and Merry X-mas mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKDGabe Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I'd try a silicone caulk as it stays flexible. Run a bead and then flatten it out some before it dries. Welcome to the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 To flatten the silicone caulking i use a plastic bag over my finger with a bit of thinner so it doesn't stick to the plastic bag. Works slick... WELCOME to the best Z board I have ever read!!!! IMHO 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Juday Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 ....on the silicone,how do i get it up under where the top meets the rubber underneath the t-top?...theres a big crevice there,maybe thats where old rubber used to be! One trick is to remove the t-top and fill the crevice with silicone. Then put Vaseline on the mating surface (t-top or roof) as a mold release where it would touch the wet silicone. Put the top back on and let it dry for a day or two. Remove the top and trim the silicone. Now you have filled your gap where the water gets in and not glued your t-top to the roof. have a gr8 Christmas and remember....Hes the reason for the season! Right on brother!
