T-top drip

I did a search and i see most people have a problem with the t-tops on either side leaking from up by the window. On my passenger side there is this drip, usually a drop of water just sits on the edge of the t-top inside the car and slowly drips behind the passenger side seat. I already adressed the door weather stripping issue, but this drip starting to really **** me off.
It seems that if there is water on the car and i back out of a parking spot the water just rolls in, i cant figure it out.

Maybe its time for vasoline or silcone spray even though i dont want it to eat through the rubber. Maybe i'll try adjusting the top on that side.

Any body find a cue for this drip on their car?

Thanks for the input.

I adjusted the T-top and greased the seals with silicone spray. It seems to have sovled the problem for the most part, Now only in extreamly heavy down pours do i get the drip, KNOCK on WOOD

I have a good story...

I had a T-top car that used to leak like that... Only sometimes though. So, here's what happened:

I was taking this hot girl out for the first time... It wasn't raining at all - I just washed the Camaro to get it all nice looking for her (not that she would have cared anyway). So, I pull up to her house, and just as the car is stopping, water drips from the driver's side t-top, RIGHT ON MY CROTCH! It looked like I pissed myself!
What REALLY annoyed me was it must have been water in the t-top from when I washed it. Nice way to start a date.

To adjust the tops, take the top out, remove the trim peice on both sides with a the two philips head screws and then there is 2 bolts to lossen the part the the top locks into.
