I have duel tops never a leak in hard top, put my soft top on for the first time a few weeks back have not saw rain but i would say a touchless carwash would be a good test and i didnt get a drop of water, maybe i am the lucky one

Default worked for me...

I had the same problem with my 2007 and the dealer only made it WORSE! I did 2 things that seemed to fix the issue. First, I added weather stripping to the upper corner where the door, windshield and top all meet. Second, when installing the soft top I placed silicone in rubber section right off the windshield that holds the surround (if that makes sense). For 2 summers now I have had no leaks

Fixed that for you. The leaks suck. One of the biggest issues with the JKs that previous Jeeps didn't have.

Mine leaks too.

It's a jeep thing, I find if I park bum down I end up with far less water in the truck...

Prob is finding somewhere to park so it's slightly bum down...

You will find the water runs off the roof and pools in the door seals until over flows and drips in to the truck. Parking bum down makes the water leave the roof at a different spot and solves the vast majority of the problem...
