I went through the hassle of crappy metro T top seals awhile back, mine didnt fall apart at all but the corner areas at the inner roof didnt fit right, they actually pulled away from the roof with the thin wall of the weatherstrip that would have allowed water/dirt to get in there. returned them before gluing them in.
Had much better results with soff-seal brand T-top weatherstrip, the corner areas are thick like GM and they fit nice too with plastic inserts in each end for better locating where it transitions down the A & B pillars. They are a little thicker than originals, or just seem that way compared to flattened 40+ year old ones. The tops were a little harder to close the latch at first but has got better after some time being installed and there are adjustment blocks that bolt to the roof where the T-top rods engage that can be adjusted some. Overall the soff seal brand are the best I have found for T tops, I posted pics comparing the 2 on 2 of the other TA forums that are gone now but might still have the pics if anyone is interested in seeing them.
