Might work on other Besttop hard tops also.. This stemmed from a minor irritation, and is a SUPER easy and SUPER cheap fix.

I noticed that after every rain, when I lifted the back glass on my hard top, a small puddle of water spilled into my toolbag in the back of the jeep. After a little investigation, it appears that there is a space where the hinge connects to the window, the top of the space is open, the rest is closed. When the glass is down, water runs through the hinge and collects in the space. When you lift the glass, the water comes out.

Solution: Fill it with RTV. No more puddles.

Just thought I would share, since it was buggin me for a while and I couldnt figure out where the water was coming from.

I dont think so.. I will show you this weekend.. Its a super minor thing, but wanted to post it in here in case anyone else was having trouble figuring out where the water is coming from. It took me a while before I found it.

Yea, but did you find a way to hold that hi-lift down so it doesnt break that back window?

The zip ties seem to work pretty good now that we added like 20 of them.
