We got a ton of rain the last few days . Got in the Jeep last night and the soft top is soaked through completely . Granted it’s a sailcloth Smittybilt but I have never experienced this. Little to no water got inside but the top is like a soaked sponge. I have a dehumidifier running in it as I type. Anyone ever experienced this?
 
Maybe it’s just condensation . Very wet and it was around 70 out those days and humid. ( BTW it’s 30 out now, Missouri weather, what are ya gonna do? )

I would guess condensate. I have had old softops (CJ era) be damp on really humid/rainy days. I haven't noticed it much on the Twill JK top... maybe the material. Get a pail of RV desiccant :)
 
I get a lot of condensation inside during the winter with the hard top. Have to warm the cabin up for some time before I can get going and see the dash lights. All Good
 
Hello brother. Hope the K-seal is still holding up for ya. Soft top will definitely do that. I been stuffing a rag up in the middle of the header so the water don’t pool on the top and soak my ass when I get in. Lol. Got through my DOT testing today so had a few LARGEHITS myself. 🍺🍺

When it dries out good spray it down with a silicone spray it will bead the water off then
