Default I leak when it rains.

Can anybody help me and give me some direction. Every time it rains, the passenger side floor of my JK Unlimited becomes a flood zone. What can I do?

Check where the cluprit is. Add weatherstripping?

Go to Lowe's, buy the cheap black stick on weatherstripping for sealing doors. I just cut a strip and ran it across the tops of plastic door surrounds right below where the soft top clips in. I put it in only in the winter when I know I won't be taking the top off. It's helped alot. I used to get soaked everytime it rains because of the bad sealing around the tops of the door, now, nothing.

And when the summer comes along, just peel it off, take the top down like normal and you're good. It's like $5 so I never feel bad about taking it on/off and adding new. Cheap fix, and better than a new top, especially when out of warranty.

Give it a little pinch and shake before you get in the Jeep. Seriously folks. Jeeping 101. Don't piss in the Jeep.

that was my first thought. Quit peeing on your passenger floorboard when it rains.

I just ran into this problem myself in the last 3 weeks, never had a leak in the last 2.5 yrs. I put some black rtv where I thought the leak was and it appears to be fixed?
