Default Puddles on the softtop?

Now that rain season is here, just wondering if any of you also have this problem or is my roof not tight enough.

While sitting pretty level in the driveway I get a puddle over the back seats, if I don't see it and put the windows down it will come right inside, any fixes for this?

Puddles?
Hardly a puddle, especially when you compare it to the older model Jeeps.

I've seen a thread around here about someone using one of the POOL NOODLES as the prop... Place it between the top and soundbar.

I figured that I wasn't the only one, my '93 Wrangler would pool if I pulled in straight in the drive, has a slight incline. Didn't work for this one though.

It was funny when we first found out about the puddle, my daughter opened the back door and got a shower, she didn't think it was funny.

I'll just leave it, but I might try the noodle if it doesn't push up too much.
