Default Soft Top leak

The Jeep sat outside all day yesterday (with the soft top up) and got nailed by the crazy rains from Tropical Storm Lee. This morning I got in, started her up, put it in reverse and swung it around like I do everyday. Water. Lots and lots of water. It came from inside the sun visor I believe. Soaked my door, my pantlegs, water everywhere. Anyone else run into this issue? Is there an easy fix or should I speak to my dealership about it and see that it's covered under warranty. I kind of just laughed the whole thing off becuase I know it's a Jeep and these things are expected. If there is a fix though, I'd like to get it done.

I have a leak that comes in on every door and drips down by where the door handle is to get out. Its a common problem and there is usual a foam strip that needs to be replaced or the rubber piece got folded under... Its probably something like that for yours too. Worst comes to worst go to the stealership and have them replace that foam if that is the problem.

Seems to be pretty common on the JKs. If you are still within your warranty period this work will be covered under warranty. Good luck with your JK
