Default No Leaks Here

I've had my two door JK for a couple of months now and experienced two or three heavy rains...only one leak the first time I had to tops off. After that I followed the sequence in the owners manual and have had no problems. Being in sunny NE Florida I've had the tops off at least a dozen times and still no leaks. For the last couple of weeks I've even gone without the anchor screws in the back and still dry.

Never leaked had tops off 5 - 6 times and been through touchless was about 5 so far so good.... I did however have my passenger side panel fill up with water. Enough that I had to hold it at an angle to drain the water...onlyn happened that once, but never any water inside

Default Still no leaks on my Freedom Top.

Still no leaks here after a little rain (for these parts anyway) and 4 cycles through the local, touchless carwash... Wondering what will happen after this summer in the PNW and several removals/reinstalls of my Freedom Top. Hoping that compression set doesn't become a problem. I've only had the front two panels off a few times thus far (4 in total). Nite!

My thoughts exactly! Where's the fun in it if you have to read the manual?

mine leaked ONCE the first day I had it. i tightened up the hand-screws and it quit. No trouble otherwise. I've had mine off a few times, but the rear of the top is off.... I have the front panels on as a suedo-bikini for now.
At least until I get some better sunglasses than my cheapo-backups I have now.

My JK came with a soft top so I had them throw in a hardtop or I wouldn't buy it. The said ok, buy I would have to wait 4 weeks. It came in 3 weeks later. The put it on and it has never leaked a drop. Very happy with it.
