Has anyone with a Hardtop, and unfixable water leaks ever sealed the top?
Just a DUMB question out of frustration with water leaks. My wife's 13 leaks
and my 14 X, just 3 weeks old leaks. I work in the auto business, and on my day off
hate spending time in other dealership!

Yupp mine leaks right onto my radio every time it rains and i hit the brakes reasonably hard. Its a 2013 rubi with my old 2012 Sahara hardtop on it

I have an '07 and did have those problems but have since sealed it pretty tight. Go to Lowes and buy some camper top foam. Apply a layer or two in the seam where the t-top meets.

Also, this is a thread I had written a while back. It is more having to do with over the doors, but may help. I had pictures of some of the weather strippings I used.

Can you still remove the freedom tops. Or do you have to reseal it every time

marcusjames2

No, you don't have to reseal every time. They stick pretty well once they've been on there under pressure for a while.

Have you tried applying sil glyde to your rubber seals? I've used it on mine and it seems to help.

marcusjames2

Not sure if you can tell, but this is how I applied the foam. I have had the hard top off for about a month and the foam stays in place on the top.

Electrical tape on the exterior. Works like a charm

Since my latest Jeep is a 14 Rubi X, I had thought by now the leak problem would be solved.
This situation has been going on since 2007. You don't have to be a GENIUS to do the math,
but that's like 8 model years they are producing this vehicle with known defects. Yes, DEFECTS.
No matter what your model, you paid GOOD money for a vehicle that they are knowingly building with issues.
I have not even made my first payment yet, and the leaks prevail. No, I am not just venting, but stating
a fact. Was wondering if you fellow Wrangler owners with this problem would be interested in starting a
CLASS ACTION suit to get to a solution or a settlement?
Put in your 4 cents on this!
