2017 Jeep JK 2-Door Hardtop Leaking at Passenger Door — Expert Fix

Hi Don,

Thanks for reaching out.

The water collecting on the passenger side floor of your 2017 JK 2-door
hardtop is a very common issue, especially when it’s happening after rain
and during multiple driving conditions.

The root cause comes down to the Wrangler’s factory design. Unlike
virtually every other vehicle on the road today, the JK does not have a
proper body-side sealing surface. Instead, the door seals are trying to
seal directly against painted metal. Because painted metal is not a
consistent sealing surface, water is able to work its way past the
seals—typically around the upper passenger door corner and A-pillar
area—and eventually down onto the floorboard.

Even though it may appear that the leak is coming from different places,
it’s usually all related to the same issue: the lack of a proper body-side
seal.

The most effective 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 seals to compress evenly and
consistently. Once installed, it eliminates the gaps that allow water
intrusion and resolves the leak issue once and for all.

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