Default Swamp in Jeep

It rained pretty hard the other night. The next morning, I pulled the drain plugs and drained out the water. Even after pulling drain plugs, I vacuumed out a gallon of water.

I have a trektop NX. I think I traced the leak to the corners of the header bar. It appears that the rain gutter should be a little longer on the plastic surrounds to channel water away from the door seam.

Is anyone else having this problem? We're you able to fix it? How?

Thanks.

Did you try adding some adhesive foam? Maybe that will help some

Maybe a dumb question, but do you have the brackets above the b pillar on the wrong sides? They're the one the hand screws go through. When I first installed I noticed the gap at the front seemed large and after going back over it I noticed I'd installed them on the wrong sides. The hand screw hole is oblong so if installed wrong it slides back making the gap, if its right it rests up against a part of the side bar. You can kinda see it in this picture

If I remember right, it looked like there was only 1 way it could go, but I will look again. Thanks for the input.
