Did my weatherstrip replacement, and did not find any de-laminating of the t-top frame from the glass, but it looked to be glued/caulked with black colored sealer. I put a small amount of 3M weatherstrip glue all arounf and snapped in the nylon clips in the rubber and screwed in the 4 screws above the window and it all went pretty well. I did paint the area above the window where the 4 screws attach the weather stripping.
My only problem was the new weatherstripping was a lot fuller than the old 30 year old stuff so I loosened the t-top guides and the clamp bolt and re tightened the guides once they were on the car. It was really tight at first but it is already compressing the seals and it looks like it will be fine. It is sealing much better and was well wort the effort. Now I need to do the rest of the seals around the windows and doors and re-adjust the windows to seal up well!
Worked out pretty good so far. I still plan on replacing the outer rubber trim on the glass tops..... later .... but that is another project.... working on a 70 convertible I just picked up... so the the 82 seals are a lower priority right now!
Thanks for everyones help and advice!
