Good news, my car is no longer leaking any water. I sealed my seals with the rubber silicone and the water repellent spray that I applied to the top works great. The water just slides off the top. Before I put it on the top, the water would stay and soak into the top causing my car to have a horrible mildew smell.

Man, i checked prices for the seals one time, total set was close to $400! One of the seals cost $65 dollars alone! I think a $6 can of sealant may be a better choice...overall ya know.

Did they say how much the labor was to install the seals? Just curious, for the future when I have more bucks coming my way.

Nope, just water. I put on some water repellent stuff and it helped let the water roll off of the top, but it seems that the water somehow gets into both sides where the metal bar rails are and starts to leak through where the seals are. I have put some silicon sealer in that area, but I guess I need to put in more to plug it up. I am planning on buying a new top liner and seals once I land my new job.
