Yeah, that's the second option I have. Sealing it means making it impossible to lower the window, but OTH I've never used that.
Think I will have too look into the costs of the sills before deciding.
Thanks.

Edit: One way or another this posting didn't make it before Xray posted.
Thanks for the pics Xray. I knew which bolts I had to undo (I recently tightened them, securing with a bit of locktite, because some squeeking noises (the frame rubbing against the sills?) developed. Especially some of the topbolts had to te be tightened a bit and the sound disappeared.

Big question I had was or the frame would slide out without removing the FRP-top, even better, will it go in without damaging the cleaned(?) or replaced (new?) seals.
If I have to remove the FRP-top I think I go for a sealant, if not, I think I will replace the seal ($$$?).

All I did was put a thin, very neat smear of black sealant from one side to the other. You have to look hard to notice it.
It was temporary but after 2-3 winters ,its still good
I think what caused it to leak was the seal had become hard and then eroded from where it was exposed to the weather

,When you undo the frame hinges ,the frame should drop down and clear the roof.
Some others who have done it say they had difficulty getting it to seal around the top after re installation.
You also need to have the vehicle on a flat surface so there is no body twist.

Have you got a price on the seal? I think the aftermarket ones here are about $70.
