It is pouring this week at Sol Cal. My one touch was holding up ok until this morning, I got water coming down from the visor, both driver and passenger side while driving.

Any one touch out there with the same issue? Any idea where is the leaking coming from?

I found out us is also leaking in the back, both sides. So all 4 corners (both visors location at the front and both corners at the back) are leaking.

I am guess it is not a leak, it could be the moisture build up inside and collected at the corners.

I checked the seals all around and they are tight. It seems to be a design issue to me that moisture builds up from the inside. I hope they have a solution for all the one touch.

my JL has been in service for this leak since 1/21/18. nothing has been done and they cannot find a bodyshop who is capable to redo the seal. I am getting ready to file a lemon.

That sucks! Hope you get a good fix on these. I think the idea of an easy open roof is worth a little extra effort .

After watching the Jeep Informant video on how the power top works, I honestly don't see how it could NOT leak everywhere, especially in a thunderstorm.

There's nothing holding the fabric tight with a seal. You can literally sit inside the Jeep and press up with your fingers using light pressure and see right out of the top. You could stick your entire hand outside. How the heck is that supposed to seal out the weather?

Looks like a terrible design to me. But then again, I don't own one.

This system sucks on a Fiat 500. I can't even fathom how bad it would be on a SUV that has the aerodynamics of a slightly beveled brick. I'll never own another soft top Jeep again. After all of the issues I've had, even with my JK's hard top leaking. I will stick with the least convenient of the convertibles..

Purchased a brand new 2019 JLUR with Power Top (factory order) on Saturday.
Sunday (day 2) was a rainy day and immediately exposed the leak with rain water dripping down driver side rear.
I have no clue where the leak is, there's no obvious visible clues on what's causing this.
WTF ... This is just plain ridiculous.
@JeepCares ... come on !!!

Can someone here with the Power Top provide pics of the driver and passenger rear corner seals on the power top? I would like to compare , as the two on mine do not match. The driver side seal where the leak is, has a much larger overlap with the horizontal seal that runs parallel to the lift gate. I believe this is likely the issue as the extended overlap on the horizontal seal may be preventing the rain water from rolling off to the side.

Can anybody please help? Any thoughts?
