You can sometimes find great deals on the factory hardtops from people who bought the jeep with one and don't plan on ever using it.

I have an '11 JKU and my hard top has never leaked, I take mine off and back on often with no problems.

My '11 JK has been in a few torrential downpours...no leaks (which surprises me actually lol).

I've had the 2 smaller hard top panels on and off my 2007 so many times I can't even count. It has never, ever leaked. Honestly, I think this hard top leak is one of those urban myths. Unless you're putting it on wrong, or you've somehow torn the rubber. It doesn't leak.

The early 2007 models had leak problems. The middle portion of the windshield seal was too soft and water used to pour in on top of the stereo cover in the middle of the dash. Once they put new seals on they didn't leak anymore. I used to shove a washcloth in between there and it would slow it down. The 2011 hardtop is much improved over older models too, seems thicker to me and better visibility.

I owned a 2011 Rubicon and now a 2012, both with factory Freedom tops. Never had a leak issue with either.

I did receive a recall notice on the 2011, but when I called to ask what the recall was for they said - a possible leak in the top. They then asked me if mine ever leaked, I said no, they said never mind.

Well id be getting it for a 09. Does anyone know if other places that sell hard tops offer defroster and wipers
