I am looking for a rain gutter hack for my jl soft top. When it rains and you open the front doors the rain water pours in from the rain gutter.

Anyone have a fix for this?

@quicksilver

Nothing you can do to remedy really... Guys/gals try different remedies but results are mediocre at best..

When you park, try to park so front of JL is uphill a bit... Do this and the rain water runs/drains backward when you park ..... and not forward where it drips on you... / into your JL.

Yea, I noticed that the rain runs into the front floorboard with the top up and doors off. Thought about RV gutter extenders, but not a fan if the look. Like bullet wiskey dude said: point the nose uphill is the best option.

I blocked the gutter (about an inch from the front to be less visible) with clear silicone caulk. It works good enough for me. I also try to park with the front slightly uphill whenever possible.

Looks like this is just something we get to live with if we live in wet climates ?
