Never a leak with mine, I simple follow the procedure in the manual, just being careful to make sure everything is seated well before securing.

Sorry. I am battling a leak with my soft top and as much as it pisses me off, you gotta love the irony of your situation.

I've had mine since June and no leaks until now. It's coming from both driver and passenger side panels. Leaking quite a bit onto my driver side dash and into my defroster and air vents

Have never had a leak but I think it rained here twice in 2007 :(. But when it rains I have no problems. It has rained once since installing my Yakima Tracks and it didn't even leak.

ok...now what?

I have had it off tons of times. Before the weather was nice as it is now I would take the front panels off at least once a day for like 3 months...no leaks.
