i would like to find the person that designed the rain gutters on the hard top and punch them right in the bread basket. How smart do you have to be to design them so they dump water right inside the door as soon as you open it.

i was going to make this post today! glad someone beat me to it. :angry: my thoughts are, yes the jeep with resilient to water but letting it poor in from the hard top front panel groove is terrible. it falls right into the inside of the door. drives me insane. but i have to admit it was funny when i didnt tell my girl friend about it and it poured onto her freshly done hair :giggle:.

First jeep huh?
This is my 3rd, always been a problem, can't really design it like a car or truck, due to the folding windshield.

There are 2 options though.
Park on an incline
got glue a 3/8 piece of pneumatic tubing to the rain channel to extend it a few inches

Nailed it. first jeep. i was thinking of a way to make it look good but figured it does not rain enough in CA to really give it to much thinking at fixing it.

Nope, thus is my fifth one. My 2015 Rubicon Hard Rock didn’t pour water in like this one does. Guess I will try the silcone in the front of the channel.

When the JL first came out...FCA proudly stated that Jeep had put 3 million miles on the prototypes. Did anyone ever take notes?
Unfortunately, no one has subsequently come forward with a rain gutter extension 3D printer design, etc.

Soft tops have the same issue, I removed my carpet throughout the Jeep so not that big of a deal for me but still worse than my JK.

The problem is the channel from the front windshield, not the sides
