Front Passenger Door Leak!
Been experiencing a lot a rain recently and have noticed that there is a decent amount of water leaking into my jeep on the passenger side. I currently have my hardtop on. Wondering if anyone had experienced this/has a solution? Thanks!

Is the water coming in at the top and dripping on the corner of the dash or are you getting water on the floor boards with a water line coming over the plastic trim along the carpet near the front of the door?

I had that same problem. Check the rubber seals around that area and see if there are any folded over or kinked seals. For be a seal was folded over a bit. Unfolded it and it stopped leaking!

I am having the same issue with my '14 hardtop. I find a decent size puddle of water after a hard rain, I think that it is coming in from the front bottom trim piece but haven't been able to find a kink in the seal etc. Pretty interested to see if anybody else is having this problem. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet to have it checked out.

Leaks are a common thing for these with hardtops. Mine was unsuccessfully fixed 18 times. It's usually worse if the jeep is parked facing up hill. The water comes over the front edge and moves back along the top of the door seal and then follows the seal all the way down the front of the door and makes entry at the bottom.
