Default New soft top leaking

I need some major help. I have a 2008 JK unlimited and when I bought it I got the hard top. Of course it leaked and was fixed several times before it stopped leaking. Now I just had the dealership install a soft top and that is leaking too. They told me it has something to do with how its sitting by the windshield. They are replacing the top and told me that if that does not fix the problem they have run out of ideas. Im looking at this is being a LEMON but I want to know if anyone else is having the same issue and if it was fixed how they did it.

Where is it leaking from? when i swapped out my hardtop with the the softtop it leaked from the driver side, where the softop frames meet the winshield pilar, I ended putting a pice of weather strip about an inch square between the plastic frame and the windshield pilar that solved the problem.

its coming in at the corner of the doors on both sides. it was told to me that the space between the header and the frame are not matching up so there is a gap that the water runs in and does not go its intended path. Do u have any pictures of your fix I could see
