Default roof leak please help!!!!

I have a 2012 jeep wrangler 4 door hard top and it seems to leak around the sound board especially around the screws that connect the roll bar to the driver and passenger removable roof. Anyone have suggestions what to do?

Under warranty, take to dealer for fix.

I use a NAPA product called Sil-Glyde. Take everything apart, coat all seals using your finger. Reassemble everything, take your time! Take it to the car wash, enjoy! This stuff should be 50 bucks a tube, I use it on everything. It's 6 bucks. When ever I'm in napa I buy a tube, might be gone someday.

Second the warranty suggestion. I would check the alignment of the panels too. May just need some adjustment. I bought a used top on there that leaked horribly(due to NO gaskets ) Bought new ones, installed and it works great. I firmly believe the orientation of the gaskets is the root cause of every leak thread on here.

Good luck with that! Read some of the other threads on this forum. They either say they fixed it or they can't find it.

I took my 2011 JKU in to the dealer 5 times for a hard top leak. On the 5th time they said they found a new gasket with a different part number. Havent had a leak since. Mine was leaking from somewhere up front though near the top of the windshield and coming down the the back side of the front passenger door. I would highly recommend taking it to the dealer to fix it. It is a very common problem.
