bring a cinder block to park the driver's side tire on. Or pull up on curbth water will run over to the passenger side. Let them deal with it. .

i got some black caulk from lowes and filled in the two front panels of the freedom top tapering the caulk from front to back, that way the water runs off the back of the front panel and onto the area in between front and rear doors instead of inside the jeep.

Default Bows work great when...

I've used bows in the past for dusters and car covers...havent gotten around to installing them on my 4 dr Wrangler yet...always got the adjustible ones from a boat dealership...you really need one for a car cover, unless you want to gather 2 or 3 gallons of rainwater from each thunderstorm...my top is off most of the summer and I always get a good quality and extremely waterproof Bestop cover...but you really need to get bows to keep the rain from puddling...I've also used a trick overnite when it was raining...I put a strip of a terrycloth towel up on the roof hanging down about 8 to 10 inches over the side...it kinda acts like a siphon and drains the water out fairly well by morning...sorry about the length of this post ...

it took the jeep people a long time to make the water pour on you at the same place on both the hardtop and soft top.it did the same thing on my tj.it must be one of the thing that make a jeep a jeep.
