TrekTop NX vs. Hard top
I need a little advise from the JK Forum family. I have a 2007 Unlimited with an original Trektop. I got it back in 2009, and have had problems through the years with water leaking above each of the window sills. I've dealt with this problem for years, but now it's pretty worn and I'm actually thinking of getting a hard top. Only problem is I really like the Trektop style, but a little torn between a hard top or Trektop NX. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could really use some feedback.

I have had the trektop on this past winter which was one of the coldest winters we've had in a while and I haven't had any leaking problems other than once in a while at the car wash. I also have a hardtop but it's just sitting in my garage collecting dust. Maybe you just need to upgrade to a newer trektop??

Ill agree with everyone here. I have no leak issues with my nx. There was a thread on another major jk forum about an install. He suggested to put the front little foam pieces in a different place, which I did and have had no issues. Only reason I havnt sold my hardtop is because work said the soft top wasnt professional enough.....bastards

I have a hardtop and Trektop nx. Northeast winters are tough, so I run the hardtop in the cold. I think it also extends the trektop's life.
Just put the nx back on today. Missed it so... It doesn't leak a drop.
If you run an original Trektop, then I believe you when you say you have leaks by the doors. The door surrounds on those are just metal rods. The nx has factory style surrounds and the top uses the cable and spring design... Adjustable and super tight. Mine is 3 years old and tight as a drum.
