how’s this? I purposely made it slightly higher than the rail. Being black it blends in.
It's a sort of tape. You pull a length off and wad into the shape you want.I can only find "Coax-Seal" as tape. This looks more like a putty/clay that I would mold into a wedge and put in the end of the rail. Was this a wad of coax-seal tape? Or am I just not looking on Amazon in the right place? Any advice or a PM with a link to the right product would be appreciated!
You should patent this idea before someone steals it, stops the drips and an awesome increase in gas mileage, I'm sure that was an unexpected bonus.Great job.
I have fixed my ST, HT, and BESTOP SR from leaks and no wind noise.
-get a hot glue gun with clear or colored glue sticks (I used black)
-use a popsicle stick to temp put on front edge of drip rail
-fill in with glue stick 2 in back from the open front edge
- drill a small hole under the drip rail 2in from the front after glue is hardened.
be sure to drill at the center of the drip rail closest to the door frame as the drip rail is angled in
-drill a small hole 2 in from rear drip rail
Summary:
2 holes in front drip rail and 2 holes in rear of the drip rail plus hot glue filled in the front 2 drip rails.
Ran each top thru car wash and soaked in driveway and no more drips.
Test drive with each tops at 75MPG and no wind noise.
That looks kinda......bulky......? I'm gonna give it a shot anyway. Thanks for posting this.I bought the drip rails from truck master designs. Here's a couple of pics installed.
Can't vouch for rain effectiveness yet but they seem to be very similar to
the sweep solution in design.
In macro shots much more than IRL, IMHO.That looks kinda......bulky......? I'm gonna give it a shot anyway. Thanks for posting this.
What is the cost?I bought the drip rails from truck master designs. Here's a couple of pics installed.

Is this basically a rubber strip that you 3M tape to the door seam?I bought the drip rails from truck master designs. Here's a couple of pics installed.

Do you know if this will work with a Sunrider as well as the Freedom tops?
No problem, glad to give something back to this community which has been invaluable to me.Is this basically a rubber strip that you 3M tape to the door seam?
Does it impact door opening in any way?
How secure is it, like if you were driving with the doors off?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but the website has like no information on it.
Freedom + Sky One Touch (what I have). Don't know about soft tops, guy in another thread says doesn't work for them.Do you know if this will work with a Sunrider as well as the Freedom tops?
Yes it does.Do you know if this will work with a Sunrider as well as the Freedom tops?
