This thread will derail pretty quickly.

If you're having a leak or leaks you'll get more info if you describe what you're experiencing.

There are even leaks that aren't related to the tops at all.

The easiest way to do this is to turn your air conditioner or ventilation system on and make sure the recirculation is turned off and go outside and wash your jeep with soap and bubbles from the windows to the top and most of the times you'll see the large leak or air leak in which the water is coming in

Also you've got to have basic knowledge on how all the pieces fit for the hardtop and soft top in order to understand how it is correctly supposed to seal itself not all leaks were caused by door seals

They also keep adjusting doors and they also give it back to me with soaked carpets also when they replaced the driver side door seal they forgot to put the door strap back and gave me a nice hood ding and didn't even say anything to me it's been at the dealer for 2 weeks already

Had a steady rain two nights ago was welcomed to a puddle in the drivers floor and soaked carpet. Think that mine is comming from a door seal at the body.

I've seen a few threads around about this but my soft top leaks a little bit on the driver side. My solution: Bed line tub, pull carpets.

Don't worry, I care buttnaked. And I hope the top stops leaking on you. There's a little piece of weather stripping near the front of the door that has to be folded just right or it can leak. Have you checked to make sure it isn't pinched?
