might just be better to have them replaced. Try your local dealer or z1 they have an extensive z parts yard.

I got a good idea

Why not get off your lazy *** Nismo and call them yourself.

That way you can tell us something, instead of always taking you could get in the belated holiday spirit and give. LOL

Yea, Nismo..taht is a little freaky. As far as just "repairing" the T-tops...I could be wrong, but I believe someone makes a weather stripping kit that will replace the weather stripping on the ttops. I can't think of woh it is that makes it though.

It was $47.95 for each weather stripping. "It basically slips back onto the notch, but some form of adhesive is suggested" the sales rep told me. Im ready to buy pair, seeming as I just got a deal on a pair of leather seats! Peace foo's

you should be able to buy a replacement rubber on the t-tops either from the courtesy or the dealer. i told you guys what i did with mine...filled it with silicone, and voila...no more leaks. but i will replace mine too eventually

Epoxy I would say, my father has some that is so strong it is recomended for "metal on metal usage, or any stregth under this grade" So basically you can stick two peices of angle iron together, and its almost as strong as a weld, haha. But thats what I use on all my parts that need re-attaching (Molding on the roof and such) and can be acquired at any hardware store. Good luck bro! Peace foo's

HAHAHAHHAHA. God thats great. I saw one of my brothers friend (at some CRAZY *** college party in Charlote) do a frog dive off the 2nd story of the building! We were listening to some Bloodjin, and right at the break down he just went nuts and jumped... The think he'll come out of the coma sometime during the summer. Haha, Just playing. For real though, he broke both of his Femurs... Ouch. Any more funny drunk stories? Haha peace foo's

If you want stupid drunken stories, why not start a thread specifically geared for that in Off Topic.
