Default Soft Top Issue

2011 Wrangler 2 dr with Soft top.
When it rains and I open my door or passenger door, water runs, not drips, from the top inside and onto the floor and my arm and anything else in the way!
Really buns me off.
Anyone else notice this?

Yes, its due to the short rain gutters that just happen to stop at the point where your legs or neck align perfectly under them. Its almost considered a design feature now. :D

I've got the 2011 2dr also and the same problem, very frustrating, but I think I've located a fix.
Google Canada umbrella hat ;)

I think they should "Redesign" them!! 1/2" [12mm] would make a big difference!
I have the window flares that allow the window open when driving and stop water from dripping in and the wind from ripping your face off!
Sure would be nice if I could open the door without getting soaked when raining though.
I guess the designers can't get everything right! lol!

I run with my doors off most of the summer, and in light rain, the ONLY part of my seat that gets we is where that rain runs off the top, not from the actual rain drops themselves!
