Has anyone experienced soft top in the rain ?
If you roll down 2 front windows the soft top allows a steady stream of water that drips right into the inside door panels dripping down the door locks and the floor . . Keep a towel handy if your going through a drive through .? It’s really messy and frustrating.
anyone else experience this yet ?

so if you roll the windows down in the rain the water gets inside?
I had a similar problem with cold air the other day. Rolled the window down and in came the cold air. :LOL:

I don’t understand this thread 😂
The solution seems obvious. Maybe I’m missing something.

I am SO glad some others took the lead on this one…was tempted, but thought - Nah, that’s way too easy!

Sheesh

. I’m no lawyer. I don’t wanna talk out of line. But I’m sure those of us with soft tops who live in an area where it may rain might have a huge class action law suit here. Whoop Whoop SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!
. Rumor has it some of us have taken the tops off our Broncos on sunny days and got sun burn. Now that’s gonna be a pay day.

My 4dr BB softie let’s the wind in whenever I roll down either the front or rear windows.

I can’t wait until it’s summer. I live in Florida and there are thunderstorms all the time. I’m anxious to see if my bronco has this issue of getting wet in the rain when I roll the windows down.

Beyond the sarcasm, I didn't understand this complaint when I popped up a few months ago. Every vehicle I've ever owned when I open the window, say at a drive through, the water pours down onto the inside of the door. Am I just buying cheap cars/trucks?

All jokes aside, OP is referring to standing water on the roof that pours in when the door or window is opened. This happens even when you’re covered, like coming into your garage from being out in the rain. It’s annoying, but just part of that soft top life unfortunately. Smack the fabric part of the soft top above the drivers seat before getting in and out and you’ll be fine.

Plus you’re likely to let all them bugs in!

But that requires common sense and a miniscule amount of effort. Can't have none of that crap!
