Getting Soaked! Rain dumps off bikini top onto my shoulder.

Any ideas or products to keep rain from rolling off bikini top and pouring in between my side rollbar and door jam? I have full doors on my TJ and would like for it to pour down the outside of window. Bikini top wraps around rollbar but is not disigned to wrap around door jam also. Annoying.

you're going to have to fab something up for that. You could sew some matching material in that place.

Just found this. It seems to do the trick. First time I've ever seen one. I may just buy one. I have a regular wind jammer and it's alright for most of the cool air but doesn't work with well because of that large hole.

On my setup I had the door surrounds and a bikini top that clipped into them (the same way the soft top does).

Exactly why I took my bikini top off and put it on the shelf in the basement. The guy I bought the Jeep from had the bikini top on the night I bought it. I opted to leave it on for the 80 mile drive home, only to get caught in the rain. Going down the road was OK, the water seemed to pass by, however when I stopped for a burger the rain puddled on the top and when I took off, it all came down on the inside of the window (full frame doors). To invest in a bikini top that interfaced with the door surrounds may work ok though.

It's a bikini top, not an umbrella. You want to stay dry, put the whole top on.

Hope is on the way.

Thanks for tips and yes I agree that a bikini top is not an end all be all top. I just like having it on to keep the sun to minimum and rain out off my radio. Anyway Quadratec does make such a top and I have one on the way. Will give report later.
