Twice I've had the top back and the rain started. Apparently the water resistant radio gets wet and tends to not work all that well on the 8.4" screen. The first time the station wouldn't change on the touch screen until a few hours later. The second time none of the touch screen worked. Luckily it fixed itself.

I have a question that I probably already know the answer to. The first time I decide to leave the front tops off last night after taking the kids for ice cream it rained!!! I double and triple checked the weather last
night. Pissed! Will it hurt anything? Mainly fronts seats and center console.

These are made to handle rain for a certain amount of time. Should be no harm. Just dry things off well and let it air out. U aren't the only one this happened to.

Has anyone purchased these? Feel like for 15 bones it might be worth a try...

Might be worth a try. When I went to pick up my Rubi wheels and tires, the remnants of hurricane/TS Beta were over Alabama and it was raining like crazy. I would have loved to have less water on the inside during this time. :D

That design will most likely create extra wind noise, not sure if it's worth it.



The JK had a similar issue, there was one company call truckmaster Designs who made a drip rail. I got one that was never installed by another owner but I never installed it.

I’d buy one of those!

One of the reasons (there were others) that the drip rail design was done away with years ago on other cars and trucks was wind noise (and mpg of course, like that was a huge hit). Noise was a big deal, plus other construction and assembly methods.
Originally it was not only a "drip rail" but was also the pinch or spot weld point for the roof to join other panels and pillars.

I saw these on Amazon... I’m seriously contemplating them... should work on the JT.

Those are an interesting idea. I did what I always do when looking at anything sold on Amazon - I look to see if the seller has answered questions, look for "instructions", complete descriptions and so on. I enjoyed finding this for those items - apparently, they went to my old school for English classes -

Color:short
DIY item --- Easy to install.
Pls use alcohol or agent to clean the position of the installation (to make sure it without the grease.Wax or dust etc.)
Pls ensure the position of installation can be completely fit the case before install, (Note: if there any questions or misfit, please contact us)
Rive the strong double-sided adhesive of the back, if meet the case of a relatively low temperature, please heating it via the hair dryer or lighter.
According to the comparison stick up it and press about 1-2 minutes (Note:do not wash your car in 24 hours, the adhesive should be fixed after 12 hours )
The installation has been completed.

heat it with a lighter? Hmmmm.........
Granted, I'm a great one to talk about grammar, spelling, sentence structure, the proper use of English, but I still have fun with these.

Anywho - these look like a possible solution. And for that price, not a lot to lose to try and have them not work out. If they do work out, you have a cheap solution to getting wet in your truck.

A dab of duct seal - it stays but is easily removed leaving no residue.

Oh man I might have to try that but I pretty sure that the soft top drip rails end much further back than in that picture

I’d buy one of those!

Heads-up, these work and I highly recommend!
