They installed a new seal for my soft top not too long ago and said that Jeep had been using a new design. It definitely seems to have stopped the leaks so far.

Well my 08 Unlimited hardtop is leaking by the driver's door now. It seems to be coming from the seal just at the top right corner of the door. I am not 100% positive.

Any JK owner experience this leak?? Would it be just a simple door adjustment or a whole new seal for that corner or roof panel?

It was a new seal for the soft top header (where it meets the body). I had taken the Jeep in for the leaky soft-top 4 times before that, but each of those times they just added weather stripping or fixed the doors so they closed tighter.

I've had three versions of seals, and windshield headers on. It still leaks. Don't get excited.
