Re: fook it - out comes the silicone
I would personally go for an outdoor type sealent. A marine one would be good, and you can also get them in black.
Used for boats and other type things.

Out of interest, Is it possible to convert a hardtop to a t-bar?

i had the same issue with mine leaking, i used black silicone and made a gully on the front of the t bar surround, so the water id directed down the window rather than down the joint, it worked well for me, i also put some on the pillar between the glass and the front pillar, just in case any water managed to bypass my creation! hope this helps a bit

Re: fook it - out comes the silicone
might just get some of those carbon t bars and permanently bond them in
