Leaking soft top?

[sertshark]

First of all, I apologize if I didn't upload the photos correctly (please help me out if there is a better way, because it was my first time)...

My soft top leaks ('99 TJ), and looking at it I wonder if there is a piece(s) missing. My seal around the door isn't the greatest (it looks a little squished in spots), but what I'm curious about is the gap I see... I noticed the swivel portion (in photo #4) seems not fully extended, but the driver's side it is extended so it looks straight. I also notice a gap between the hard door frame and the soft top... not sure if there might be something missing that I need to purchase, or if it looks normal. I've only had the jeep for a couple months and I'm slowly fixing things the previous owner did not fix.

I'm having trouble seeing the pics clearly. Is this an oem style soft top? If so do you have the door surrounds in place?

Or is it a bestop version that is entirely different?

I just looked up "door surrounds" and I don't have those.... at least from what I am looking at.

Definitely missing the door surrounds - I can see the truck in the background through the gap where they're supposed to be.

They normally sell for around $100 a pair. Make sure you get the knobs that secure it to the roll bar spreader bars as well.

Make certain you have the mucket seals also.

Please do explain about mucket seals?

Looked it up, quadratec, makes it a little clearer.

They are often missing and there are many jeeps running around without them. I like things to be correct so I use them.
