2017 Jeep JK 4-Door Hardtop Leaking at Passenger Door — Expert Fix

Quick answer: A 2017 Jeep JK 4-Door Hardtop leaking at the Passenger Door in Heavy Rain is almost never a bad door seal - it is the missing body-side weatherstripping Jeep left off the body, so the door seal has nothing to compress against. The permanent fix is adding body-side weatherstripping for the JK; most owners install it themselves in under an hour with no special tools.
