Kbox sells new T-Top weather seals for $179 (For AW11): http://www.kbox.ca/catalog/product_i...products_id=55

if you want to go a cheap route, sometimes if you take a bead of sillicone around the inside of the weatherstripping where the glass meets the rubber, and let it dry, when you put the T-Top back in, it should re-seal.

Here is a good Tip site for info on how to seal a T-Top leak: http://mr2wiki.com/MKI/T-Tops

Im not sure, I own a 89 MR2. The same steps to fixing AW11 T-Tops should work with the SW20.

ask on MR2oc.com they should be able to answer better.

I've tried this product. They replace the stock grommets and make for a tighter seal.If it's a small leak, it'll work. Mine leak was small and it worked for a few months. But after 1 of our 100+ degrees summers, the rubber weather seals deteriortated more and it began to leak again.
After that, I used a sealant, which I did only as a temporary fix, but it has held up for over a year now. There is no doubt that I will have to replace the weather stripping-eventually.
