Additional Details

Water leaks in from the bottom of the Passenger side door, im assuming it runs down the inside of the door and then drips onto the floor. I also sometimes experience some drips coming from the roof right above where the stereo head unit is. Im assuming the jeep fix kit will do the job on the side doors, but do you have any suggestions for the top cover that seems to leak sometimes? Its not every time that it rains, but usually after a hard rain I see some droplets come in. (I currently need to replace my stereo and I dont want to have any rain be able to get at the new head unit once replaced.

Hi,

If the water is leaking down onto the top of the radio, there are two
things I would check first.

The first is freedom panel alignment. Stand in front of the Jeep and look
across the top of the windshield from the driver side to the passenger
side. The front edges of both freedom panels should be sitting in a
straight line. If one panel is slightly higher or lower than the other,
water can get past the seal and make its way into the cabin.

The second thing to check is the rubber gasket above the windshield that
the freedom panels seal against. Gently pull on it and make sure it is
still securely attached to the windshield frame. If that gasket has started
to separate from the metal frame, water can get underneath it and travel
behind the header, often showing up as a leak above the radio area. If you
find it lifting, clean the area and use Gorilla Gel Super Glue to reattach
it to the metal frame.

That said, in most cases the root cause of Jeep leaks is actually the door
sealing system itself. The factory weatherstripping on the doors is trying
to seal directly against painted metal on the body. As the Jeep flexes, the
weatherstripping compresses, wears, and develops small gaps. Once that
happens, water gets past the door seal and starts traveling inside the
Jeep. Depending on where it exits, it can show up at the A-pillar,
B-pillar, under the dash, on the floorboards, or even appear to be coming
from the freedom panels or windshield area.

Every vehicle on the road today uses body-side weatherstripping to create a
proper sealing surface for the doors—except Jeep Wranglers.

Our Jeep Leak Fix kit solves this issue by adding an automotive-grade
body-side gasket to the Jeep body itself. This gives the factory door
weatherstripping a proper surface to seal against instead of bare metal,
creating a much tighter seal and stopping water before it gets inside the
cabin.

Thanks,

Tony
