Hey!
I've got a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport soft top. I've developed a rain leak that I can't track down and was hoping for some input.
The leak is on the passenger side half door. Coming down from the top- drips into the cab right over the door handle on the inside. It's a big leak which really sucks living here in Seattle.
I also have a "matching" leak on the driver's side, albeit not as bad a bit further back on the door. Drips right onto my shoulder. Ugh!
Anyways, I can't figure out what the cause of the leaks could be? Neither doors nor top have been damaged. I measured both doors and they match each other. No bends or warps. The Jeep lives in a garage out of the weather mostly. No holes in the canvas and all rubber appears normal.
If I lift the canvas uppers and stuff something under them to help support them (also leaving a big airy gap to the outside around the bottom of the canvas door) the leaks stop. I'm just looking for a more permanent fix.
I'm didn't want to get a new top if maybe just new door uppers would work. I didn't want to get new doors if maybe a new seal over the windshield or door adjustments would work. I have no idea where to begin? I've been battling this leak for almost a year now!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
