Soft Top Leaking Bad

[jbowe21]

Hi all,

The soft top on my 2018 JLU is leaking pretty bad. It happens on the front passenger side and wets up the door trim and soaks the floor. I opened my door this morning to a soaked floorboard and carpet which I did not have time to assess at the moment but will when I get home today. The leak occurs when the jeep receives a high pressure of water such as a carwash or a downpour. I looked last night and couldn't find a root for the problem but will look again after this fresh leak. It's not the premium top and doesn't have any tears in the top so I'm unsure what to do.
Does anyone have a similar issue/fixed the issue?

Check the rubber where it meets the door and also along the front windshield frame.

Thanks for the tip! Should I be looking for anything in particular/out of the ordinary? I did a lousy check yesterday just looking but nothing stood out to me.

I haven’t owned a soft top in age, but the hardtop will leak if the rubber seal above the windshield gets dirty. I doesn't take much.

Rub the rubber with some vinyl cleaner and apply a good dose of Armor All or 303. That should clear any dirt.

Good luck.

Check and be sure nothing is out of place or getting pinched. clean everything really well and apply a dressing for rubber seals or even Vaseline.
