^ Good job on kitten patrol Mark. 
Yes, I too have "Toledo Falls"... with the soft-top on, a quick shake removes a lot of the water. With the hard-top, it really doesn't work so well.
I'm alternately amused and pissed about it... if it's warm weather, it's an amusement, but when it's cold, my soaking-wet left leg is not a happy camper. I have no fix to offer - just my condolences as a fellow Jeeper.

hmmm
I thougt It was just me.... My hardtop doesn't leak, knocking on wood, so I can live with some water right there... IF it bothered me, I would get some black silicone, well I wouldn't care what colour, and mold it around the front, so no more drip, and then brake the resivour at the back end, and make a channel so it would drip down the rear windows, I don't know about you four door guys, just keep going?

Have you all noticed that when its raining and the door is open that the little gutter on the side part of the hard top lets the water pour right into the car?
Just wondering if anyone has done anything to overcome that or if there is any product out there to divert the flow.

I wouldn't call it drips it's more like a cold stream of piss that goes right down my leg and in my jeep. Today it's suppose to rain 2-4"s. So I'll try the finger swipe trick. Overall a poor design of that track.

I noticed that with my hardtop. Whenever I open the door and its raining I always say WTF. I dont know why they have that "gutter" stop right in the middle of the door opening. Well Its soon spring time and time for the soft top!

My hard top does this too. I'm wondering if it is as bad if the JK actually sat level instead of nose down? Guess I'll find out when I get around to lifting mine

You would think, That with all the electric crap they have on them. Traction control, skid control, Anti roll, and so on..... They would build in device that would make it shake like a wet dog.. Whats one more add on... :
