Had the same issue with my 07, nothing seemed to truly fix it. I lived with it, it's a Jeep, it leaks. Since I replaced my OEM top with a Trektop, no leaks.

I have a hardtop but rather enjoy top down doors off in the summer, I know it a jeep thing just worried water may get where it shouldn't. Trektop nx is my next idea but not sure that will be any better.

Make sure above both drive n passenger doors you have this seal. This is where the water drips in on the door handle.

Default Its a jeep.....its going to leak!

Hey guys,

I hate to say it but your NOT GOING TO STOP THE LEAKING! Jeeps leak, there is nothing you can do about it. You can either enjoy your Jeep, shop vac the rugs (or have the entire interior Line-X'ed) or you can keep bringing it to the shop to try to stop the leaking and borrow your grandmothers Oldsmobile while your badass Wrangler sits in the shop for a little bit of water.

Dont get into this battle with the soft top because the only thing your going to go is keep the mileage down because you wont every be driving it due to its being in the shop all the time.

ITS A JEEP....THEY LEAK!
