You might check the top frame, make sure it's all nice and straight. Anyone know how these pumps behave on the way out? You might check for fluid leaks around there. I've only had my '89 a couple of years and haven't had this issue yet. Just can't make mine seal.

Yeah, that seems to be a huge problem on my '92 LX 5.0. I got the roof and weatherstripping replaced and I'm finding it's actually sealing worse after the replacement.
