It's always good to have fresh polls, because things can change. And since you cannot change your poll answers after the fact...

I think it would be interesting to see one of the "how much have you spent in mods" polls where people can change their response as time goes on.

2008 Unlimited Sahara

Hard top leaks. It fills the passenger side removable panel with water then leaks through onto the sound-bar once the panel is full. Pretty annoying to be driving a brand new vehicle and hear water sloshing around in your roof. I end up taking it off and draining it after every rainstorm. Hopefully, the freeze/thaw cycle won't end up cracking the panel open this winter. Absolutely terrible design.

Haven't had the soft top on yet (and won't until next spring) but I'm not overly optimistic about it not leaking.

Not yet....I think minor leaking is expected from a soft top. I never had a leak in my TJ hardtop. I really wish there was a one piece top option from the factory for the JK.

I have been pretty lucky so far - though I do get an annoying whisting sound in the soft top

Monday I will take my Jeep in for the 7th or 8th time in six months for the top leak. (I lost count) I get soaked everytime it rains. at 15k miles I don't have new Jeep smell. It has mildew and buttholes smell. Yum.
