My 2011 has leaked like crazy from day 1. It's been "fixed" 3 times and still leaks like crazy. Worse thing is, that jeep doesn't seem to care

Agree take back to dealer. This is not a normal condition so they have to fix it under warranty or prove it's caused from something you did. Just be persistent not angry or irate and remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I had a customer do this to Allstate and got brand new OEM parts on his 5 year old car. If after three attempts then escalate to the regional/district manager and so on till it's resolved. Good luck it can be a difficult road.

I traded it in they wont be able to fix it right youl be going back and forth adjusting door headers and rubber moldings and youl still be wet on the passengers side I got my 12 rubicon no leak at all in soft top dry floors no drips on door handles inside my 11 I had to leave face cloths there when it rained lol knowing it would drip they said no roof replacement cuz it will leak again they sold me some convertible top conditioner lol cost me 22 bucks I used it inside and out it stunk but worked some what on seams , however do yourself a favor buy a throw on type cover cheap like 40 bucks it takes and defers the rain it repels too but even if its wet through and through it won be in a concentrated area it dissipates or disperses water to prevent it from going in but you cant use it at walmart or shopping lol at night though its great keeps bird shit and pine sap off too I still like mine
some times in a rain storm I run out toss it in a big pile dosnt have to be on neat just cover it some how lol good luck but usually they don't fix the leak they will say all jeeps leak but not true least two years so far none but if it does I know the cover helps a lot

Default btw its comming in

from the top of door up at roof where the little patch is and it finds a route to the floor you can sit with a flash light when it rains at nite and see it usually but its almost not worth it cuz you need to buy all kinds of weather strip and all that crap to solve it the dealer just keeps trying different things with headers adjusting but id want new roof

My 2010 Sahara does the same thing. Dealer sent it to their "leak specialist" and after a few scratches and a dent they said it was fixed. Needless to say they fixed my scratches on site, while I watched, and the dent is supposed to be fixed this week. Ill also be watching that process. But I washed my jeep the other day with no leaks, it is sitting out in a rain storm right now so ill check in the morning to see if the floor may is wet. I have traced the water to somewhere in the pillar that runs down behind the windshield. But I told the dealer to be prepared to write a check if it isn't fixed, lol. Good luck with yours!!!
