1972 Blazer top/window seal issues

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping I can gain some insight from the experts on this fine forum. Last fall I had the hard top refurbished including NOS window to top weatherstrip seals and non NOS rubber to seal the top to the truck. The window weatherstrip was glued in and that glue gave way after a few months (pulled from the corner). They have since been re-glued and are holding but there is a slight gap from the seal to window at the corner on both driver and passenger doors. Also I'm getting some air coming in when driving from the driver's left top corner where the top meets the window header. Recently I learned that there are little T clips that are used to affix the seals to the top. I am guessing that these T clips position (center) the seal correctly and without them it's possible for the seal to migrate from it's correct position. Does anyone have knowledge regarding using these clips on a double wall top, how many are needed and do you think these missing clips are the root of these two issues?
