[MR2] <MKII>Parts needed - Now T-Tops leaking.

[Brian Knoblauch]

    Any suggestions for my case?  Mine have gone from perfect to HEAVY 
leaking in the last 2 years.  I don't have a problem with the seals around 
the glass (seals fine there).  I only have gaps by where the pins go from 
the tops to the body.  Filling them with RTV helps quite a bit, but it only 
lasts a month or so before leaking again (and I have to pick the RTV out, 
re-clean, and then RTV it again).
