[QUOTE="Mountain Man Tim;3955280"]the roof leaks like a siv if you dont tighten the shank bolts that go through the soundbar, if you leave them off, ya youre gonna get wet, if you hand tighten them to snug, i havent had a drop get in yet.

What Tim said. The only time I had mine leak was in a torrential downpour, when I left those bolts out. The salesman said you could, so I did. I put the bolts back in...no leaks. I chalk that up as my fault, and not a flaw in the top. I live in Mississippi. We get a ton of rain here. If it was going to leak, it would leak here.

To answer that, no, but I'm running a hard top.

If the door surround is not properly installed on a Jeep running a soft top, it will leak like that. My '09 leaked on the passenger side. The only way I knew it was wet carpet. There is a very thin little piece of weatherstripping at the top front of door, that if not installed correctly can cause that problem.

Wow, did your salesman move down here to Florida, cause my original salesman told me the exact same thing.

So it sounds like without a doubt the 3.6 with the new 5 speed automatic is far better than the 3.8 6 speed manual I am currently running. The same I think with the hard top over the soft top less water issues and quieter than the flapping soft top. Tomorrow I'm going to do battle with a salesman to see if I can get the price where I want it and with any luck maybe I'll be coming home with a 2014 JKU in the anvil color which looks badass in my opinion!!

I have a 6 speed manual in the 2012, and I like it. I test drove a 2013 automatic the day I bought it & it was much superior to my '09 automatic. The '12 was cheaper, had 3.73 gears and limited slip in the rear, and a lot of other nice options, so I took the manual.

ive yet to have damp carpet or water in my full size mud mats, lots of debris i track in, but no water you do have to firmly shut your doors of course, as with all jk/jkus, otherwise you get a light saying its ajar, and of course it would leak left like that.
