Hi Farrah,
Thanks for reaching out.
The leaking you’re experiencing at the passenger door on your 2022 JL
4-door hardtop is a common issue on Jeep Wranglers.
The root cause comes down to the factory sealing design. Unlike most
vehicles on the road today, Jeep Wranglers do not have a proper body-side
sealing surface. Instead, the door seals are trying to compress directly
against painted metal. Since painted metal is not a consistent sealing
surface, small gaps can develop around the upper passenger door and
A-pillar area, allowing water to enter during rain, washing, or while
driving.
Even though the factory seals may appear to be in good condition, the issue
is usually not the seals themselves—it’s the lack of a proper gasketed
sealing surface for them to compress against. That’s why many Wrangler
owners continue experiencing leaks even after replacing or adjusting
weatherstripping.
The most effective long-term solution is adding a Jeep-specific 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 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
contact me directly.
Best regards,
Tony
