Take the carpets out, treat any rust and apply a ute tray liner to the floor and leave the floor bungs out. Stick some marine carpet over the top so it won't rot and get stinky when wet.
It would be hard to fix a soft top leak by doing anything other than reaplacing the entire top. I have a factory softtop and a viking softtop and they only leak in the heaviest of downpours. My Hardtop also leaks slightly around the rear window in heavy rain.
I recently pulled my footwell carpets up and after a decade of jeeping most of the paint had worn worn off and the galvanised metal was showing through. I just cleaned it up and put a few coats of rust kill over it to help protect it from corrosion. I also painted the rear area under the rear seat.
