I hope you didn't jinx yourself talking about your leak-free never removed top! LOL What year is your truck?

I've got a 1970 double-wall Jimmy that the top has never been off of and I know it leaked since June 1972 around the hatch as I was getting wet trying to sleep behind the rear seat. Not a normal rainstorm tho. It seems there was always a real steady drip that would get your left leg wet coming from the top of the wing window, probably passenger side too. From what I've been able to learn I think GM addressed some of these issues with the single wall top and the drip rail deflectors.
