Default Soft top leaks

Just bought an 08 JKU Rubicon and have both tops. I'm planning to install the soft top in a couple weeks but, wanted to get some opinions on wind, rain, etc. leaks. I've always had CJ's and the soft tops never sealed well- just a part of CJ life as you get used to wind, a bit of rain spray, etc.... just curious if the JK soft top is much better. I'll live with it either way but, just thought I'd ask and prepare myself.

No problems with my softtop ( don't have a hardtop). Only time I've ever had it leak is is a high pressure car wash ... Then minor dribbles around the door.

The JK soft top is a much tighter and better design than previous. Like the other comment mentioned, no leaks other than when you pressure wash. Also a more quiet design than before, but still noisy, especially above 65-70. Awesome for when you suddenly have the urge to go open air style!
