I'm glad yours does not leak.........Anyway, I read the instructions, the Jeep technician I think knows how to install the tops correctly.....It's a nationwide problem with the freedom tops leaking, know fix at this time....I've had a rental for 1 week, the dealer is now going to replace my vehicle with a new 1....I have an appointment today....Good luck with all those with the freedom top....What a disaster....

Hard Top Leaking

I am considering buying a 2008 Wrangler X but am very hesitant now that I have read numerous complaints about the 'Freedom' top leaking. I have not read all the comments in the message boards but this reminds me of the camaro/firebird removable hardtops of yesteryear and their leaking problems. This is supposed to be the 'HOT' vehicle right now and possibly Chrysler doesn't have the time to fix it.
I also heard rumors that top Chrysler execs are involved in this problem. No way am I going to buy in to this potential problem. Can someone sum this up for me? Is it being resolved? I've got to hear it from the customers out there - won't ask a dealer.

I just got my 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited x last monday 10/29 with the freedom top. After reading this thread and other info online, I decided to take my chances. Well last nite was the first time it rained and it was a good steady rain. It did not leak. So now I'll wait and see what happens in a good heavy downpour. And of course this winter when it snow's I'll be out there keeping the roof clear of snow. I do hope I won't reqret getting it. Good Luck
For now I do love it!

Service bulletin on "chirping" available. Dealer fixed and seems fine. They also seemed to make brakes much better. Caliper and alignment issues

Hard top leak 07 Unlimited

I had mine in a driving rain and through a car wash and not a drop. As was said earlier, you have to read the manual and do exactly as it says. I latch the front first and then go clockwise with the latches and then the spin bolts last by the speakers. Never a leak.

I haven't had an issue since that one time. I've been taking mine through high pressure automatic carwashes and we've had some serious downpours and not a leak. I guess it was my own mistake that lead to the leak. I haven't had any since that one time I had the leak and I read the manual and replaced the top the correct way. Everyone that sees my Jeep tells me they love the looks of it!! Always getting compliments on it. I still Love my Jeep.0lllllll0....only in a Jeep!
