Not sure but because they're not drilled onto the Jeep and only utilise double side tape, they're at least removable and re-attachable so I wouldn't give up on them yet.
They are a tight fit with the top of the door. They clear the door, but it lays over the gasket at the top of the door as it pushes on the bottom of the gutter. I don't know if I'll run into any issues when I put my hard top back on, but as they are now there are no problems with the soft top opening or closing.

thanks in advance
Small update... The drivers side drip gutter broke a few months after install. It never fit quite right, it didn't line up exactly where it was supposed to according to the instructions. The passenger side lined up perfectly and still functions great. At least the rain stays off my wife!
Joined this forum basically because I decided to order the drip rails. I'll let you know how they go when I get them. I first emailed Bill last night and the product was shipped before noon today!
Tried installing the drip rails today.
They were a tight fit... too tight. The door wouldn't really close, and I ended up cracking one. Also, they had a pretty awkward fit. The curve of the drip rail didn't exactly match that of the jeep, so the sticky tape didn't make good contact. So, even if I didn't crack that one, I probably wouldn't have left them on there. It seemed like they wouldn't have lasted very long.
Slightly disappointed, but can't say I didn't expect something like this to happen. Now I'm looking into adjusting my doors and coming up with a DIY solution to the drip.

Ok i put on one side to see how things go.
Bill said to me these are NOT meant to stop leaking. But the way i see it --with mine at least--the water channels to the door and then inside the jeep through the top corner. Will see what happens.
I did have to reset it which i did not want to do.
If you dont push up on the top before the sides. When the door is closed it pushed on the rail and creases the seal. By doing it this way the door closes fine.
Tomorrow we are supposed to get some rain .. Will update then.

The verdict is the drip rails do work with the jeep JK's soft top. What they wont do is stop leaks like Bill had told me. I did learn where my particular leak was forming. NOT seeping past the door seal but from under the top itself. Nothing done to the door or seals would prevent it. Either its the header seal or the top itself which is 8 years old.
Anyways, its nice to enter the JK and not get soaked without the rails. There really is a HUGE improvement. The only water that hit my head was from the beads leaking through the top. I could see the stream run out the drip rail which is what they are designed to do.
I am happy.
