I was driving in a pretty good rainstorm yeasterday for about an hour when My son in the back seat of my 2 door said the roof was leaking behind him.
The roof seam on the side above the side window was soaking wet. It was enough to soak to carpet at the base of the rollbar. The drivers side was dry. I don't see a hole but somethings wrong.
It's an '08 and this is the first problem I've had so I guess I'm lucky, but did anyone else have a leak in this area? And how did you fix it?
Thanks.

 

Man I dunno Mine did this the other day. It had been raining for several, several hours. I haven't seen it again, including when I washed it. I guess I'll just hope for the best. Damn Jeeps.

 

That sounds unusual. Was the velcro fully closed?

 

The water may have been seeping through the zipper if it was raining hard enough.

 

I checked the zipper on the outside and it looked dry. The seam that was wet on the inside is higher that the zipper. I think it may be coming through the stitches but I don't see any holes. At least I hope there's no holes.

 

Don't know if this will help or not but fwiw go to a backpacking web store and search on the key words "seam sealer". At one time all tents were sold with a tube of this stuff. You set the tent up crawled inside and spread it along the stitched seams to keep water from weeping in along the stitching. I'm am not saying it looked good but it worked. Smelled like the old airplane cement used to put model kits together.
