Default Softtop leak any help appreciated

I am hoping someone might be able to offer a little help. I put my soft top on about 2 months ago. I have taken it down about 3 times. We have had a lot of rain and temperatures too cool for me to enjoy top down driving. Anyway the last few rain storms I have noticed water in the drivers side door pocket. It's not a puddle but noticeably wet. I keep a pair of glasses in there and the last time I went to get them the case was all wet and glasses all foggy lol. Anyway I have checked all the seals can't find a thing. Anyone have a clue or similar experience?

Personally next time it raining hard I would sit in it to see where its coming from. softtops and wranglers are known to have leaks. Maybe weather stripping is bad? Softtop not sealed right? Im sure you been over all this. You can also have a buddy spray it with a hose while you sit inside.

I had a A piller leak when i ran my CB wire through my door. I would assume yours is trickling in right above the pocket.

Hope this helps...

yeah take it through a car-wash or something and figure out where the leak is...once you figure that out you can figure out how to stop it....

This is what fixed mine. On the sunrider arms there is a sleeve that makes it so the arms will not fold back. We have had a lot of heavy rain and no leak. I hope this works for you.
