Some do, some don't. They'll fix it if it does. We can't tell you about a Jeep that hasn't been built yet. At least not with 100% assurance.

Hi there I have been reading a lot of the responses with the Freedom top in general and there seems to be a general consensous that they have problems with the two pieces in the front section . do you know if therehas been any other issues with leaks and power shortages?

Do you know what would be the main cause is it due to the electrical shortages from the leaking of water or such do you know if there or where is the info about this that I could locate?

you shouldnt even worry about it until you actually get it unless you can back out of your order. yours will probably be corrected before you even see it.

You can check out the TSB at this link:

It's just a weatherstripping issue-- but like others have said, it seems to be fixed in the new builds.

The electric radio problems are not from water leaking. They have been fixed already (in theory).

My advice is to take some deep breaths. When your Jeep is delivered, test it out. Make sure everything works like you want. If they don't, talk to your Jeep dealer. If they won't fix it satisfactorily, don't buy it. Until then, I recommend thinking warm thoughts.
