Sealing of convertible top looks very poorly designed

[ahobie17]

I was looking at the top at my local dealer, so not impressed by the way the top seals above the doors....there just isn't much holding it tight at the sides...it lifts away from the rubber on the body very easily, ....imagine this a speed when the edges start lifting away from the body and rain starts pouring in.

This is the third time, today, that you’ve created this exact same thread

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/construction-of-top-weather-side-seals.19062/

The other was removed, probably by admins given it was a duplicate

Honest question... how does this compare to what Jeep is offering?

Ok, you seem obsessed with something you claim you have to "imagine" to even see a problem. Ford has tested the crap out of these.....so no need to imagine anything. It will be fine, no matter how many times you start the same thread.

Go to 2:12 of this video and you can see them moving the soft top.

It was more in regards to the OPs comment about the seal. Doesn't seem too different to me from what Jeep is offering.

How are we defining a “bad climate” area? I live in the Deep South where it is HOT AF from May into September. I keep the Jeep soft top up during this time. During the winter, it is way more than warm enough inside. Never had leaks.
