[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 451311, member: 19161"] Mine leaks, but a very minute and manageable amount. I've tried a variety of fixes, and a combination of them, to keep it to a minimum: [LIST=1] [*]Do not over-tighten the sound bar bolts. Matter of fact, just snug them enough so they don't rattle around. I think over-torquing these can pull the rear of the freedom top tight to the sound bar, conversely lifting it from the front of the windshield and door frame. [*]Added a couple of turns of electrical tape around the windshield center footman loop, which tightens the center top latch. [*]Added some after market Lowe's foam weather strip with the adhesive backer in the corners. Didn't remove any of the original, but added to it, so any water needs to find its way past 2 rows of rubber to get in. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
