My first hard top Leaking problem !

chaddo78 · 02-08-2010, 08:27 PM

I just bought my first hardtop and it's leaking a little on the right side of the back carpet behind the rear seat seat. Also the wiring harness cover on the back driver's side is a little damp. Does anyone have an idea or is this common? Maybe hardtop seals or leaking inside the fiberglass hardtop?

My factory hard top has leaked in the rear since day one, it's worse parked down hill, mine gets wet in the same areas.

I have the same problem. I get water on the passenger side Rear floor. I held a hose to the hardtop ect and no leak???? But after it rains, the rear floor on the passenger side is always soaked.!! I cannot figure out why.

Same here. I think mine leaks at the seal where the rear glass and tailgate meet.

It is strange, my soft top only leaks (onto the front passenger floor) during a very hard rain which is rare around here, but the rear carpet under the rear window gets soaked with the hard top on even during a light rain or snowfall.

This may be obvious, but have you guys checked the wire harness for the rear wiper?

On a TJ I used to own, I had a leak in the back, and that was the problem. When I closed the rear glass, that harness got caught in the weatherstripping, causing the leak.

One wire tie under the plastic cover took care of the problem for good.
