HOW to repair a Leaky Jeep Wrangler Top (Jeep JK) 

Darn Oregon Rain 🌧.... I’m glad my video was of some help. Yes it should work. My wife and I currently have hard tops and I have used the same kit on the leak that plagues all Jeeps. The center leak between the freedom tops over the radio....😁😁😁😁 Thanks for checking out my. Channel and sorry for the late response.

No problem. Thanks for checking out the channel.

1 year later....

alan jackson Thank goodness everyone was ok. Yeah the hard tops are deff great for those who want the daily driver Jeep with out all the outdoor elements and constant water battle. I can say my wife loves her hard top over the soft as well. For me I’m a soft top guy. Thanks so much for checking out my channel. I’m guessing your still into Jeeps even after the scary roll over?

Jeep_tv Definitely still into Jeeps. After my wife totaled the Sport I upgraded to a Rubicon. I went to the Moab Easter Jeep Safari last year, and now I'm hooked. I plan on going to Moab every year for vacation from now on.

Nice. I wanna go. My buddy Cody with a Comanche is going this year. I told him he better video everything. I’m super stoked for him to get to go. That’s definitely the gauntlet of off-roading world.

Jeep_tv there's trails for every skill level in Moab. I've done Top of the World, Fins n Things, Steel Bender, and Hell's Revenge.

No problem hope you get your leak fixed.

This is kit is for hard tops. I guess it works on soft tops also

I used it for my soft top. And it deff. Works. I stopped a huge flood from coming in. I have used it on my wife’s hard too. It was leaking upfront between the tops down onto the radio. It’s amazing how a little thin foam drip helps.

@@Jeeptv going to give it a try. LOL wife just text said her jeep is soaked.

Jeep_tv where did you put the foam to stop this front happening? I also have a leak and it drips all over my radio and actually killed it last month.

I ordered most of the stuff at Quadratec.com They have quite a bit of stuff.

You would think 🤔. It has to do with just design and making sure you Maintenance your top. My wifes hardtop drips on her radio but not all the time just when it wants too. Lol 😂 Thanks for checking out my channel and leaving a comment. 👍👍👍👍

I agree owning a soft top myself.

Just normal wear and tear. Took mine eleven years to leak but that's a cheap fix for eleven years of use.

The kit is actually for a hard top and there is a video I’ll find and send to you that shows were all the pieces go. There isn’t any wrong way to stop a leak but I have found that the cork tape was the biggest help. You can also go check out the plumbers tape at Lowe’s it’s like $8.00. m.lowes.com/pd/frost-king-1-8-in-rubber-plumbing-pipe-wrap-insulation/3427634?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-rpe-_-google-_-lia-_-142-_-pipewrapandwinterization-_-3427634-_-0&kpid&store_code=425&k_clickID=go_625853472_34614743350_111134521990_aud-549623685082:pla-259586161850_m_9013266&gclid=CjwKCAjw1dzkBRBWEiwAROVDLNpLPPRfBYjNMrmoXgKXeulJZAYEGZipxrZIZpM9Ea34QtNfvtVCyRoCST4QAvD_BwE

This may be close to the same kit. www.extremeterrain.com/crown-automotive-hard-top-seal-kit-0717-jk.html

rich richie NICE 👍. Thanks for checking out the channel.

BOB BEAUMONT Thanks for checking out my channel. Try and Locate the floor drain holes under the carpet. Make sure your plugs are installed. Also at the fire wall there is some expanding foam covering a hole that may have come loose. Let me know what you find.

You’re welcome! I am glad to see I am not the only person with this problem and I appreciate as a visual learner that you made this clip and linked to the items. My drain plugs are fully flush to the floor and working. I think it is coming in from above the passenger door just before it slants down along the back of the windshield pillar. It was raining today and I noticed that the water is coming in a slow, thin stream over the footboard plastic and then right onto the carpet where it gets soaked. Where the corner of the roof attaches to the windshield. I noticed it dripping down and hitting the plastic door trim and then hitting the floor. The irony is that it is not dripping while the door is shut but seems to be riding the track down to the plastic sash. It’s not dripping down from the top in an obvious, visual way. Seems like the water rides the seal down to the point I described.

BOB BEAUMONT Glad I could help. Water issues suck. Especially when you have know idea how it gets in. You really had to hunt that down. Glad you found your issue.

Jeep_tv I think I found it

BOB BEAUMONT what was it? The seal? The door? Same issue driver side

PHGameTech After Making the seal repairs it solved the problems. I no longer own this Jeep.

Armando Miranda Thanks for checking out my channel. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. There is a Link to the material in the description below the video.

Nope I have not done that. I’m sure if I had directions and or a picture I could do it. Are you talking about the actual clamps built into the header of the soft top to fasten it down on the little U looking hooks at the top of the windshield

Sorry to hear that. Water leaks can be a Pain. Most likely the leak is coming from another area and running and dripping down.

Anna Moody DANG!!!!!! I would look into ordering a new gasket across the windshield. My wife’s Jeep has started to do that as well but it’s her hard top gaskets I RE-sealed to fix it. Do you have a hard top or soft top?

+Jeep_tv (BIGMAN06) hard top

Anna Moody I would check the passenger front center seal on your hard top. The passenger top lays down first on the windshield and it probably needs the most attention. That fixed my wife’s.

+Jeep_tv (BIGMAN06) okay cool, thank you!!

Jeff Betts Probably could have cleaned it better. Stuff is so sticky don’t really matter much.... it’s pinched in there and will get hot and melt in with the rest. Crazy how something so thin can hold back the flooding that was going into my Jeep.

Thanks for checking out the channel. To be honest I almost bought a FJ Cruiser at one point.

@@Jeeptv No problem. I have a 2011 wrangler sport and my fjs a 2011. Yeah the wrangler has the solid axle, but the fj kills it in every other way in my own opinion. Actually got the jeep because I wanted another fj but couldn't afford one 😂

Uh, no smh
