How to make my jeep more waterproof?

I have a 91 yj and I have the hardtop and full doors on it and there's huge gaps between the hardtop and the top of the door. Ive tried adjusting the doors to make them fit better but there's still gaps. I'm tired of having puddles on my floor and soaking wet seats all the time. Does anyone know how to fix it or at least make it better?

Do the doors have the seals on them? Are you sure you're running the right doors and hard top?

My 87 with hard top and full doors doesn't leak at all, the doors fit real nicely.

I installed a used set of doors/hardtop this fall on my 95. Nearly perfect fit and zero leakage. As the fit "set in" though I had to adjust the driver side door striker just a bit to avoid a slight rattle. These were from a YJ onto a YJ though.

When I installed hard doors on my Jeep I had a large gap at the top it turns out that the upper door frame was slightly bent outward , bending it inward and replacing the door seals fixed it.

Happened to mine too. I'm working on fixing some of these problems. Im installing new windsheild frame and plan to use double side tape to seal soft top to W/S frame. Using seal sealer where cowl meets W/S Base. I also found that water leaks through the firewall when I cleaned my engine compartment ( regular water hose) I plan to seal everything that passes through the firewall with silicone ( fuse block,cables,grommets, heater box bolts and blower fan,battery tray,heater hoses,etc) I want to install some kind of cover plate or scoop over cowl vent too, lots of water makes it through there.
