Soft top leak

[southtj]

In over 6 years of Jeepin I've never had my soft top leak. Well, once when I first got it but that was because the factory left off the mucket seal. Doesn't count. Recently I've noticed water in my rubber floor mats on the driver side after a rain. I couldn't figure it out until today when I could see the wet spots on the inside of the door near the top corner nearest the windshield.

If you look at the picture you can see where the rain runs off the top down to the door and right in that seal that is bent out. Is there any way to reform that piece. I really would rather not replace the entire door seal.

That's precisely why a hardtop is the ONLY way to fly on a TJ.

I wouldn't own a jeep if I couldn't have my soft top. I felt too claustrophobic when I had the hard top on. Soft top is the ONLY way!

I usually run bikini & windjammer til spring then on goes the hardtop but to tell the truth, I don't have any top for this 3B yet, but then again, it don't rain 9 and a half days a week here either.
