Default Can't decide what to do

So my soft top has been leaking for the past couple months and I've done everything to try and fix it. Took it to the dealership and they replaced the header bar and put new foam around the whole thing but it still leaks. So what should I do? Do I get a new soft top (probably a trektop nx) or save my money and go to a hard top and then save a buy a soft top later. I have an 07 JKU.

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get a hard top for the winter and a bikini top for the summer.

I'm in florida so there really isn't a winter. I would get the hard top just cause it blocks rain better during the rainy season.

I have both a hard and a soft top and mine leaks when I switch them out. But after a day or two the heat from the sun takes care of it by helping to form the gasket. Im in NC so you should get plenty of sun in Fl for yours

Yeah that's what ate my soft top now that I have. Just can't decide what to do. I like being able to take the top completely off but hate when it rains my whole jeep becomes a lake.
