Soft Top Drip Rail Leaking into cab

[beegee1028]

Water runs into cab when either front door is opened when raining. Not just a drip but a stream coming from the drip rail. soaks front floors. I am considering extending the drip rail forward to redirect the flow. I had a 2015 Wrangler and am familiar with water in the cab. This is not at all like that. Anyone else having this water problem?

When I had my JK with a soft top I would get drenched every time I opened the door when it was raining. I learned to just live with it. When I bought a Gladiator I was only going with a hard top. I hope you find a fix!

This is a horrible design. People have asked me if my soft top leaks and my response is "I don't know, I get a waterfall when I get in" If it does leak, it's hidden by the monsoon of water that rolls in when entering.

yes water stream runs off the drip rail and into the cab right onto the floor,pretty annoying i must say.

Howdy, I have the same problem. About an hour ago I bought a tube of black silicone gasket gel and plugged the front of the drain. Hopefully it will cause the water to flow to the rear of the drain. I will re-post the results the next time it rains. Have a goodun!!!

my soft top and hard top both do it. I have been told it is a jeep thing. I think it's just a "windshield folds down, top comes off" thing.

Howdy,
I had forgotten that I did that. Well, it has been raining for the last few days and I didnt have any dripping into the Jeep when I opened the door. I think it works. I did have to add more to the little dam and make it a little taller on each side. I will post more when more rain arrives. Have a goodun!!!!!!!!
