Default Water drips off the top with door open?

Whenever its raining and I open one of my front doors, water constantly drips from the grove at the top of my hardtop. Wouldnt be so much of a nuisance if it wasnt dripping inside.

Anyone else experience this or got any solutions?

There are tons of threads on this. But be glad yours doesn't drip on the seat with the door closed.

Welcome to the club. Mine does it all the time, and we get plenty of "liquid sunshine" up here in the PNW.

I am happy as long as my top doesn't leak with the doors closed.

Always thought that was a little silly, open the door and in comes the water. Makes you get in and out real fast that's for sure.

Dont look at it water dripping on you. Look at it as an free upgrade you now have a shoe cleaner. It helps get the mud off.

Yup this happens to mine as well. However having that over hang is nice in the winter. All the snow piles up there instead of on my door to fall into the jeep

Yep...Jeep/Chrysler made it a standard feature for hardtops and softop jeeps! Best thing to do to avoid dripping into the jeep is to try and park on a incline.
