I have a 2018 Sahara JLU with hardtop. When it rains, the water builds up in the channel. When you go around a corner the water spills out and hits the front or passenger window. Anyone else experience this? @JeepCares

Yes, all the time. Had the same issue on my 2014 too. I believe its because the water channel by design cant extend past the hard top or else it would probably snap off. I just keep my windows up until ive been driving for a couple minutes and let all the water fall out of the hardtop channels. Just the way it is.

That is disappointing to hear. One question though, does your Sport leak?

Wow. It seems mine gets into the channel and waits until I turn a curve and here comes the water works. It hits the window and then your lap.
