This is my third Jeep two soft tops both soft tops had leaks. I just dealt with them. The JK has the hard top and so far no leaks. I've also owned a convertible car it leaked too. None of the leaks were major but they were still leaks, I think its just one of those things that happen with a rag top.

My soft top never leaks but the freedom top leaks all the time. My freedom top leaks through the screws in the soundbar and up front above the radio. If it's your hardtop, someone on here told me to by some NAPA Sil-glyd and put it around all the seals which actually worked. Which top are you running that's cause the leak?

Which top to you have?
My soft top on my 2009 JK 2dr leaked around the headliner, the water would follow the windshield around and ended up soaking the driver's side carpet. Nowhere else.
My newly installed Freedom hardtop leaks not one drop. Jeep has a 148 page leak repair manual available for down load that addresses the various sources and cures for the leaks that most of us witness at least sometime with either the soft or the hard or both tops.

The irony is that I have a cheap off-brand soft top on my '03 TJ and it never leaks.
