Hello,

I have a 2021 Rubicon Gladiator and I recently purchased a MOPAR bimini top which works great. The only problem is that rain can still get into the jeep because there is a gap between the doors and roll bar. I included an image with red arrows to hopefully clarify. Anyone know of a product that solves this problem? The same issue holds true for the back of the jeep, however I think this should solve that problem (the windstopper.)

So you want a product to completely seal it from rain with the Bimini on…. Why not just put the top back on if it’s raining?

If you plan to drive around with the Bimini and this “sealed” panel just in case it rains what’s the point of taking the top off in the first place.

If you are looking to keep rain out while it is parked with the Bimini on, then look for a cab cover.

Fair questions. I live in Texas, it can be sunny one minute and rain like crazy the next. My concern is when I take the Jeep on a longer trip and don't want to use the hard top. If I get hit with an unexpected rain storm, I wanted the ability to seal those areas. I don't think any product exists that does that but I figured I'd ask. Thanks for the response!

Oh ok so you have a hard top. I would think you would need the soft top rails and side piece to anchor anything to it to make a rain panel work. Not sure how else you could make one work.

Something simple that might work in a pinch while traveling, maybe you could wedge a couple of pool noodles in that area to keep the rain out.

Thanks! I'll go lookup those side rails that you mentioned to see if that might work. Appreciate your time.

By the way, the pool noodle idea is a really good one! My kids just asked me why I'm taking one of their pool noodles to the garage! Lol.
