    Lift. Tires and wheels. With couple lightbars and a front bumper
    Everytime it rains my driver rear puddles with water. I checked the seals in roof and it looks fine to me. I suspect it runs down by the seat belt area but never can see it leaking. Anyone else has or had this issue and solved it. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome @Captjohn ...might want to lift the wet carpets before they start getting moldy or mildew. As mentioned use a garden hose to simulate a rain shower not a monsoon force of water. Post what you discover as there could be several DIY fixes.

    ^yep, letting us know which top would help.

    It's a best practice to clean and lubricate all rubber seals. I use tire shine, that's as good of a place to start as any :)

    Good luck!
