Mine leaked then I put subframe connectors on and it stopped.
They'll leak with a high h20 preassure but not when I wash it with a hose or in rain storms.

I noticed mine leaked in the passenger rear corner by the window last weekend. It only leaked when I sprayed a hose directly at it. I just had some subframe connectors welded in and have yet to see if it still will.

Take the ttops out and the 2 screws in the plastic pillar and take it out of place, you can pull it down enough to get to the mounting pieces. There are 2 bolts holding it in place, loosen them up and with the door shut and the window up adjust the ttops to how you want them to fit so they won't leak and tighten the bolts up. Make sure you don't slide the mounting pieces too far forward because there is the plastic that goes over the lock and if you move it too far forward the ttops won't fit in place. After you've tightened the bolts put the plastic trim piece back in place and put the screws back in it and you're done.

Mine leak and drip pretty bad. And now that Im dealing with this tropical storm here in FL, its not good. They leak for me where the top meets the pillar frame weather stripping. It gets inside of that and comes in. Then also on the back of the window. Does it on the passenger side also, just not as much.

Looking forward to getting SFC mainly to stop this crap!
