So, it's been about 4 months with my soft top Black Diamond. I love it, don't really have any major complaints. There are a couple little things that are mildly annoying and I was wondering if anyone has creative solutions for this one: It's raining in NC right now and when I open the door, the rain pours off the roof onto the floor board. I need like a gutter or rain guard or something.

Without a drip rail this is an unfortunate fact of life. Getting out, I know folks will sometimes push up on the roof from the inside to get water to run off before opening the door. Maybe give the roof a tap or two as you walk up on it? its not the MIC roof, it wont come apart. :)

Nature of the beast. Jeeps are the same way even with a drip rail. Park at a slight incline if you can.

Yep...On my 09 JK it drips right in the door and on the carpet, because the stopped the edge 3 inches to short. I guess you need a weather degree along with the eng. degree to figure that out.

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

The rubber floor mats from Ford are great. I use them in my Badlands to deal with dirt, dust, and yes the stray water drops that come into the Bronco.

I live in the Pacific Northwet, so no shortage of precipitation (well, I'd like to see more snow in the mountains) and haven't had that issue with my two-door Jeep Wrangler. Maybe it's a four-door thing. The Wrangler has a drip rail, that has prevented my interior from getting wet.
