I have installed new weatherstrip on both sides of a 69 firebird, and it looks good, however wheny ou spray the top of the windows, water leaks in, am I doing something wrong, or if there any adjustments to do, or do i live with it?

When you spray... how close how hard? best way i check, other then the "hose test"is wind noise on the highway try that. are the windows coming up all the way? did you get all the old rubber out of the tracks? before the install? try just washing it and see if water still gets in.

Try adjusting the stops on the windows themselves so the glass comes up a hair higher at full travel. Or, adjust so the top of the glass is tilted inward a bit more.
