That’s fine for the wife, but what if you’re a dude?

Stop whining about getting a few drops of rain on you?

Your just such a helpful guy aren't you. Just cant help yourself can you.

All these nit-$hit add-ons that the aftermarket world is coming up with and nothing to fix this quirk leaves me SMH.! Our soft tops actually have a rain gutter, somewhat, sewn in the entire length of the top except for the first few inches starting at the windshield A pillar. This is a dumping point for the water flowing in the "gutter".

Is there a hydrophobic coating that can be used?

For the top or the owner?

The top is hydrophobic, if it absorbed all the rain there not be runoff.

Just like the rear side windows whose bottom is a halfbinch too high, the gutter for the roof was mis-designed.

It's the tradeoff for not having a hardtop whose doors extend into roof area. Had one, (different brand) and snow was worse than rain

Mabbet has a trim piece that runs over both doors. Have not tried it

The roof fabric is not completely hydrophobic. If it were there would be no standing water at all.

Is this your first soft top?

Man this guy is sensitive but then again he is from north of the border. Enough said but lighten up dude. I like the hard top comment but having owned 2 Broncos the first of which was a soft top. It does drip but wasn't a concern of mine with the MGV interior and also it was quieter the my current hard top at highway speeds. Good luck.

I also have this same issue!! I'm glad I'm not alone. It happens when it's raining, and you open the window for any reason. there is a spot where it will drip down with a significant flow rate and right onto the door. Not sure tenting the soft top will help any since it's not really about the pooling but the runoff of the water.

I've accepted that they built the doors to handle the weather as they have the rest of the interior, but it is very annoying regardless.

So I’ve had my Bronco for about a month, and it rains a lot here in Georgia. I have to agree, the water pouring in when you have to roll down the window is excessive. The responses on here so far have not been constructive at solving the problem (accepting the fact that mass amounts of water pour in and just carry a towel is not a fix). Hoping some manufacturer creates an after-market solution.

Standing water is not the problem. The problem.is the gutter drains forward until it disappears

Most of the unhelpful answers here are from non softtop owners and in particular ones who have not viewed the softtop from the side

We get rain.....a lot of rain where I live!!! This dripping on me everytime I enter the Bronco is pissing me off!!!
