My Aluminum T-Top Frame Before Repairs
My Aluminum T-Top frame before repairs had stress cracks, 1 of the 4 rockets was missing, there was a broken forward floor mount and a long crack in one of the lower vertical tubes that had collected water from the various cracks and must have froze at one time and split the tubing.

I plan to re-wire my masthead, docking lights and electronics and run the wires inside of the tubing and seal the drilled holes with clear 5200 sealant to prevent wire wear. It will most likely still collect water inside the T-Top frame.

With that I plan to drill small drain holes in lowest points of the tubing so that if any water is collected it will naturally drain out onto the deck.
