If the photo bucket images go down again due to bandwidth, I've uploaded them here, too.

Wtf ... Hmm thanks

I see the gasket pushing out a little in the pics?
Man ... As long as they work. That stream actually finds it's way in my jeep with the doors closed. I emailed Bill. Hopefully I can get a set.

Yes, the gasket getting torn up over time is really my only concern, as it is pinched pretty tight between the door and the drip rail. Otherwise great fit that functions very well. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is annoyed by the drip.

These were designed with the hard top in mind. Taking to Bill he tried a set on a Soft top equipped JK and they worked fine.
I'm about to grab a set.

Well, mine worked out well. Been running them for a few months now. Still get the odd drip but it's over by the door hinges and not in my lap so that's fine.

I got mine about 2 months Ago, painted them nicely and attempted to install them on my soft top jeep. No go. Installed by the directions and the door gouges the snot out of them and they pinch the door seal. I only installed one side and took it right off. I may install them when I put the hardtop back on. They are really designed for the hardtop

Strange, 'cause a few of the guys over here are running them with soft-tops and no probe at all. Wonder if there's a difference with the various soft-tops?

Perhaps I was not pushing them tight enough to the door surround. I'm not sure if they would interfere when removing the surrounds to re install the hardtop when winter comes.
