Purchased a Wild Boar Fast Back Top (w/o sunroof) for my 2009 JK Unlimited Rubicon. It is a water leaking POS. I would not recommend this product. All four footwells and rear cargo area carpets completely soaked after a rain. Attempted to fix with weather stripping but no luck.

Do not buy from this company
I purchased a fastback hardtop for my 2007 2-door in August and it arrived damaged. The owner of Wild Boar, Chris Duncan, assured me the top will be replaced. After four months and a trail of phone calls and emails, I am nowhere close to resolution. He has admitted that he continues to have quality and shipping damage issues. He also has expressed that his company is in financial trouble and has asked me to be patient as he tries to resolve the problem. The design of this product is attractive, but please be careful as his Customer Service is awful and the stability of Wild Boar Products appears to be very weak.

I also have the Wildboar top, but I the got the one piece design, and love it.
It fits well and I have had zero issues with it, thank goodness. With that being said I too would be more than a little upset if I had purchased it and had all these problems with basically zero customer service.
That sucks and I hope you get it resolved.

Four door fastback
I bought one of the first 4 door fastback t tops and it leaked badly. At the corners of the doors and and rear window. My advice to anyone buying is to buy from a dealer so that you have a company to go back to with your problems (a real company, his dealer in Houston was an individual that sold them on the side.... No help what so ever ) . When screaming lizard did my hemi conversion they fixed the leaks as they are a dealer. I love the look and the top but expect some problems. Also if I was to buy one I would get sunroof version as the t top are big and a pain to store when taken off.

Leaks
I had my WB FB Top shipped from USA to here in Oz. Arrived fine. First rain yesterday and man it pisses in water from front passenger and drivers upper edges.
Lots of discussion here but does anyone have real close pics of the seals in these spots if their top doesn't leak.
Also on the two door I assume that there is no pull down from the top to the windscreen bar (as is the case with the stock JK HT)

T- top version leaks
As well. Ordered mine back in 08 and it has leaked ever since. Talked to Chris several times ..... Useless to say the least. Great looking product horrible customer service and support. If you want one I would suggest you go through a good dealer NOT directly through him. Do not use Houston Texas dealer as he is useless as well. Also, if you have one invest in a dehumidifier !

Houston - Can u describe or send photo of what Screaming Lizard did to correct the floods?
We have an early version of the JKU 4 Door T-Top that leaks like a sieve. Wild Boar said we need to shave down the front corners of the panels to less than 1/2" thick. Hoping to receive confirmation of where I believe the mod needs to occur but doubt I will receive a reply from them.
Was also told 1st versions did not have a gutter on the T section directing water past the rear door and we would need to perform some fiberglass work mods to add these gutters. Was promised some photos of what the gutters should look like but again WAITING for some simple photos.
