Exclamation Soft top leak - anyone have a fix

My 08 Rubion leaks pretty bad above the door handle's. The dealer has had it 3 times and they are next to useless. Has anyone had any luck fixing this on there own, and if so what did you do? Its raining in Steeler country now and my jeep is leaking like crazy.

Mine used to leak but I did a couple things to stop it (it has not leaked since). I am at work now but when I get home, I will try to take some pictures and post them.

There's a few threads on this. There's actually a kit, where basically you use sticky-foam to build up the seals.


My dealership had mine for 5 attempts. Luckily, it worked on the last attempt (I used the phrase "LEMON LAW" and they perked up on the 4th try, but still didn't get it... but number 5 worked like a charm.... knock on wood...)
