Well it just rained a little in Nashville. I had the three windows off and the soft top up without the door frames installed. I have all the drain plugs pulled and the back seat out so I thought I didn't have anything to worry about.

I discovered today there was rain water stored up in the sag of the soft top above the front seats. Without the frames installed, there's a lot of room for water to just sit up there in the slack. I dumped all the water out but now the soft top is stretched out to the point where it's only going to get worse next time.

Is my top screwed now?

 

They make soft top prop rods for that... I used a pool noodle above the sound bar to help with the flapping. (I have the safari top, so the OEM soft top might not have that problem.) Anyway, it helps tent up the top and allow the water to run off.
