Soft Top leaking [condensation?] right through the fabric layer???

[SuperFord]

I received this photo from a Bronco owner and it’s something I haven’t seen before so I thought I’d share.

The photo APPEARS to show water seeping right through the soft top material after recent winter snow/ice/rain.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I have reported it to Ford.

Mine has not leaked after a week of record rain and in Northern California.

Could it be condensation kinda looks like it.

Dude that’s not a leak. That is condensation, just like if your in a tender tent.
Email Ford back a sorry.

Exactly. Though, I did read your comment quick and thought that the homeless have a hook-up app.

Maybe not directly related, but still a soft-top question. Does it come stock with a storage back for the soft top when you order it with one? Thanks.

Are you asking does it comes with storage bag for the soft top? NO.

would have to be a BIG bag as the frame is attached to the soft top.

There is no storage bag for the soft top. Sorry.

I considered the same thing at first and even agree that is more likely than the top leaking, but that's some awfully big drops of "condensation". Click on the photo to enlarge and take a look at the top right corner.

Inside an automobile in my experience condensation normally presents as fogging on the windshield glass, not actual water droplets dripping from the roof!

Has anybody else experienced this phenomenon??? If it's such a simple and common explanation, why has nobody else noted it?

So until there is some supporting evidence, you can email me back and say your sorry. lol.

No one ever talks in public about all of the negatives of owning a jeep lol.

I've had condensation like that appear on my Jeep TJ softop when I had it outside overnight with a rain cover over the cab because i had the door and windows off. Drops were big enough that if you touch the top on the inside they would drop off.

That said I never had condensation in any weather with doors and top completely on though. No issues with my Bronco softtop either in the few months that I've had it although it is garaged most of the time I'm not driving it.

My CJ soft top used to get that. In particular, frost would sometimes form on the underside, and then after the frost melted, some of the water would form into larger drops. So yeah, I'd go with the condensation theory.

In all fairness record rain in Northern California is just a little rain compared to most places haha
