(UPDATE with video) Leak from drivers side on soft top near airbag in the halo

[nd2002]

Not sure if this is part of having a soft top, but I found a slow drip in the driver side “halo” structure, right where the top airbag is.

curious if anyone else has had this happen or if there are things I could do to check? I’ve only had the vehicle a few days, and it’s been pretty rainy, but it’s the PNW

Will raise it with dealer, as well.

UPDATE: Was able to captuire a video, now on the passenger side when turning.

Its a feature. That water droplet drips at random intervals to make sure the driver is attentive.

Surely you jest? Only the MIC top has issues, as evidenced by the endless "..glad I got a soft top..." posts on this forum.

I think its part of having a 6G bronco

lol. Wish it stayed intact for at least 6mos before crapping the bed

Were you parked anywhere different? On an angle? Was their water pooled on the top?

All I know is that my 7yr old jeep's soft top doesn't leak.

I’ve only had it a few days. Parked outside, driven at least 1x a day. It’s been really rainy out, but not sure if that should count as a justification?

No I wasn’t justifying. Trying to figure out if there was something specific that might have contributed to the leak. Convertible tops can and do leak sometimes. It’s the nature of the beast. Just trying to find the assignable cause.

You know what doesn't leak? My new Rubicon.

I’ve driven my soft top through several storms, including one that was practically a monsoon that lasted for hours. No leaks anywhere. Have you checked to make sure the Velcro is lined up well?

I don’t even know where the water could enter from in that place.
