ISTR when Jago did a hard top for their jeep, that they recommended waxing the body, and cleaning (with acetone or similat) the hardtop. Then put a bead of silicone along the joint, put the 2 together and wait 24hrs. When removed you have a perfect seal on the hardtop! and nothing on the car body. Sounds like a good move to me, but I don't know if it works. I'd certainly try it myself if I had a need.

I've got to the point where I have puddles in the front and rear drivers side on the 2+2. I've checked the drain plugs in the doors and think the soft top has pretty much given up being weatherproof. It's a KAP one and it's probably as good as ever, just the pure amount of rain we're having is overwhelming it. There doesn't seem to be any let up in the weather on the horizon, I don't have a garage and a tarp is going to disappear down the street. I have a hard top, it's supposedly the better of the two options, so I fancy digging it out and fully weatherproofing it. What's the best way to do this? I seem to remember a previous 2+2 I had, the owner siliconed the point where the hard top meets the roof line, which while it was a bugger to get off, worked nicely. He also ran two channels down the side of the hard top past the window frame to catch water I presume and either send it over the front or rear of the roof. What else have people found works well for them? Have you added extra seals or done away with them and also siliconed?
