2015 Jeep JK 2-Door Softtop Leaking at Not Sure — Expert Fix

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reaching out.

What you’re describing on your 2015 JK 2-door soft top—leaking on both
doors near the windshield pillar—is one of the most common leak areas on
the JK platform.

The root cause comes down to the factory sealing design. Unlike most
vehicles on the road today, the Wrangler JK does not have a proper
body-side sealing surface. Instead, the door and soft top seals are trying
to compress directly against painted metal. Since painted metal is not a
consistent sealing surface, small gaps develop around the upper door
corners and A-pillar/windshield pillar areas, allowing water to enter from
both sides.

That area near the windshield pillar is especially prone to leaks because
it’s where multiple seals and surfaces transition together. Even though the
seals may appear to be in good condition, they can only do so much when
sealing against bare painted metal.

The reason you’re seeing it on both doors is because the same design
limitation affects both sides equally.

The most effective long-term solution is adding a factory-specific Jeep
leak fix kit with body-side weatherstripping. This creates the missing
sealing surface the factory design lacks, allowing the door and soft top
seals to compress evenly and consistently. Once installed, it eliminates
the gaps and resolves the water intrusion issue at its source.

Below is a link to the leak fix kit that will solve your issues.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to reply to this email or

Best regards,
Tony
