My 2011 leaks where the door surrounds meet the windshield. I notices the weather stripping isnt as good on the passenger side as it is on the drivers side.

I love when people buy a Jeep and lose their mind when it leaks a little. Didn't anyone tell you when you bought a Jeep you signed up for this kind of stuff?

Mine didn't leak when I got it. Round the second season it started to leak (only when it rained btw) and now it doesn't seem to leak much anymore. So I think if you just not freak out that it leaks a little the problem will eventually go away on it's own!

My windows had a gap in the top front letting water in. I put two small pieces of stickyback foam on the underside of the rag top window where the plastic extention goes down into the steel door. Just on the front, not the back. This aligned the window to the frame of the jeep top.
Rag tops are gonna leak alittle, it's there nature.
Good Luck

This works for a while but you have to reapply it like 2 or 3 times a Summer. I stopped giving a shit a long time ago. it rains, it gets wet, that's what happens.
