Unhappy I think i twisted my frame.....

My t top never leaked when i first bought the car but after a few mods and a few trips to the track the leak pretty bad. I never put sfc's because i never thought the little mods i did would make that much of a difference but the car hooks realy well. How do i fix it?

There is no frame to twist. The entire unit body twists. A body shop could tell you if it happened.

On the other hand, I took my setup to 500HP before I added the 6-point roll bar, and integrated SFC's, and I never had a problem with the T-tops leaking. Have you checked the seals for damage?

the seals are fine. You can clearly see where the t-top meets the windsheild that the gap gets bigger towards the outside.

I had the same problem. Totally leak free and all of a sudden I had a ton of water in my car. Here is how I fixed it... T-top Leak Fix

The first thing that I did to my car was weld in double diamond sub frame connectors. No leaks, no squeeks, or rattles and the car now has 201,000 miles on it.

Not sure what permitex is but the plastic comes off really easy. From what I remember, you pull the big snap clip out from under the handle and then remove a couple of screws that hold the plastic down. I think the screws are on either end of the t-top. I used RV silicone as it is good in all types of weather, bonds good to glass and plastic, and can flex.
