Re: 93 Del Sol leaking roof
I have a 93 Del Sol also and I've searched all around but I can only find the seal for the roof part of the rear and windsheild but my roof leaks along the window part of the roof so from the side not the front and back, I just can't find a seal for the window seal of the roof and I don't want to buy a new roof to fix it

Are the seals torn at all or just getting tired?
if it is not torn you can condition the seals and that will likely solve the issue
conditioning the seals is pretty simple and should be done every 6 months or so
go to the auto parts store and get spray on silicone lubricant, and silicone lubricant gel (Shin Etsu Honda Grease) sold at Honda Dealerships
grab a few soft rags
take the top off the car
spray the rubber down with the spray silicone
get it nice and saturated
now gently wipe it off... you will get a lot of black nasty stuff on the rag
repeat this a few times until it looks a little better
once that is pretty clean spray a light coat on and let it sit for a few minutes untill it is mostly absorbed
next get the Shin Etsu Silicone grease and put a decent coating on the rubber... lay it on there somewhat thick there should be a mm or 2 covering the seals
wait about 30 min (the longer the better)
wipe off any extra silicone that is not absorbed
spray a light coat on again
put the top back on
the seals should be nice again as long as they werent shot to hell before hand
the top shouldnt chatter and squeak as much if at all now either
