Default Leaking soft top

My 07 wrangler's soft top is leaking From the Drivers and Passengers side and both sides of in the back. There are no holes in the top so i have no clue where it is coming from.

Welcome to the world of Jeep soft tops...this has been covered to death. Use Google because the forum search sucks.

Default Stock top

Next time it rains, get a book and go sit in the Jeep. Bet you will see where it's leaking. My (front door) guess is in the top forward corner where the door meets the top at a obtuse angle. You will have to probably rig a solution yourself. At Home Depot, you can find foam tape. Buy the most expensive (best adhesive) one they've got. Right up in the corner, you can put a small 1" strip (self adhesive) stick it to the roof not door, and that should help. No idea on the back doors? Never seen that, but little weatherstripping here and there and you might stop most of the leaks.

Unfortunately the aftermarket tops leak too. It's more art than science to fix it.
