Rear top filling with water

[Jt125]

I have had more than a few hard top jeeps but this is definitely a first for me I'm now wondering if anyone else has had an issue with the rear hard top holding water. I can't find the entry point but it leaks out around the glass and cable trey and sounds like I have a half full two litre sloshing around at every turn I make. Let me know if you've had this issue and what the resolve was just f possible.

Haven't had that happen. Have you had the top off recently?

I haven't had that, but definitely sounds like something that should be covered under warranty. When you've had it off, how was it stored? Maybe look to see somehow it was scratched?

No I removed the rear section once in summer and the freedom tops haven't been off in at least a month never been caught haven't been caught in the rain with out them yet. Wich at another layer of mystery to the issue

Yea well if you've barely taken it off then I would think it'll be hard for the dealer to say "user error" insinuating you damaged it. I'm sure you'd only need like a pin sized hole for water to find a way in. Or maybe the rubber seal is exposed somewhere? I'm just spitballing though. If I were you, I'd take it to the dealer, this should definitely be covered under warranty...

I've have been all over this thing for two days now looking for the answer with no luck I think they'll be hard pressed to pin it on me and it's definitely going back for repairs

I know this is an older thread but did you ever get this issue resolved? I just noticed the same issue with my hardtop. I have only taken the rear top off once since I have owned it. In the last week I keep hearing water slooching around. I have looked everywhere on the interenet but have found very few similar issues...
