Went thru car wash to get rid of road salt. Above the center mirror it leaked. Have not had the front pieces off yet to check.
Anybody else?

Haven't experienced this in my JT but I had this exact thing happen when I first bought my JK. I simply took off the panels then reset them and never had another issue.

Jeeps will leak. So far mine has not but i will not be surprised if it doesn't at some point. As long as it is not a crazy amount of water I would not be to concerned with it. How are you liking your Gladiator other than the leak?

What top? Is it just the Spendy ones that leak, or is it the rag tops too?

Any will leak. If it does the seal is more than likely the issue.

I feel lucky then. I've had mine 7 months, 7000 miles with multiple car washes and fowl weather have exposed no leaks on my premium soft top..............as of yet, yikes.

I don't have any leaks either. If it would I wouldn't sweat it. I would investigate the seal and correct it accordingly.

Only have 1000 miles, so far so good. Fun to drive. This was the factory hardtop.

I haven’t run mine through the wash yet but I did notice water falling in when opening my door. It clearly runs out of the “gutters” and into the vehicle.

"It's a (dumbass and easily fixed if engineers just consider it) Jeep thing."

No leaks with my top or my factory bed cover in heavy rain and going through car wash. My top is quiet and seals really good. The bed cover doesn't hold water on top or flap around while driving fast. I hope it stays this way!

I believe the roof is adjustable. If you look under the plastic where the freedom tops clamp to front window, you'll see it adjustable. I gotta do it to mine. My wife has a jl that doesn't leak and we use the same car wash.
