Question:

Are they soft camper shells water proof? Do they leak?

The Bestop Supertop, # B76308, is weather resistant but not waterproof. For an item to be waterproof it must be able to keep water sealed out when submersed under water. The material of the Supertop will resist rain, but there is a chance that water can get in from the seams or zippers of the cover in a prolonged rainy event or driving rain.

If the cover is stretched too much from rain water puddling up, water could potentially leak in through the fabric. The representative at Bestop informed me that to further prevent water from leaking in if the cover were to be stretched, you could apply scotch guard on the inside of the cover.

I have included a link to the installation details for you.
