Use a rainbar on our r/o with side rinsers. Would not shut off and drips continuously. Tried cleaning solenoid, then replacing solenoid, then a check valve right before the arch. Still drips. Any suggestions?

Define "drips continuously". Is it siphoning from the RO storage tank or just emptying the plumbing the rain bar and arch? You could install a ball valve after the solenoid to see if it is actually leaking through it.
Our rain bars are installed upside down so they don't drain between uses. Seems to work well.

Yes it is siphoning from the RO storage tank. Wondering how it can be getting past a brand new "normanlly closed" solenoid. Am installing a stainless steel check valve at rainbar. Does the rainbars installed upside down still function normally?

What is strange is the solenoid was replaced with a brand new exact replacement and still leaks.

Is the spot free the only source for your arch? If not, possibly another solenoid in the mix that might be an issue? On my IBA, I have a choice of water types to run through my arch, thus I have multiple entry points.
