My soft top has leaked on the drivers side from day one and has now developed a bad wind or whistle noise around the header.

Mine hasn't leaked but it did pick up a mildew smell that I traced to the passenger side floor panel. One of the rubber gaskets had come off and water had come in from the last puddle I ran over or something.

Both tops, no leaks,
no sarcasm,
no humor.

Not trying to insult anyones intelligence, but that usually results in an improper "seal" when putting the top back on/up. I have gotten that with my hardtop as well, but just popping it off, reseating, and poof the whistle is gone.

Neither of my tops have leaked, but then again, I haven't had it through any real rain, but it doesn't leak when I wash it

I get the whistle in my hard top when I take the Sunrider panels OFF. Weird thing is....it didn't do that until after our head on crash with a Ford Excursion.

My soft top leaked once when I didn't put it on right. But when i put it on right, no leaks.

My hard top has never leaked, and I have had it "apart" several times since I bought it at the end of Feb '07. I've got a little under 25K on it, too. It is almost always on thought.
