I have a 2014 and it has been in the shop twice for water leaks. They have replaced seals two times. I had water coming some where around the freedom panels and it was dripping on the passenger door panel. I also was hearing some whistling around the passenger windshield seal. So far, so good...

My 2007 never leaked. My 2010 always leaked after numerous times in the shop. My 2013 is worse than the 2010 was. I'm talking about more than an inch of water on the drivers side when it rains. And it pours in from the B pillar when I drive in the rain and brake. Hard and soft top. I keep it parked in the garage when not using it. Drives me crazy. Now that I know the proper way to test, I will be there watching the next time I bring it in.

3 yeas later; I own a 2008 JKUR w a soft top. My leak is a couple of inches back from the A pillar drivers side just above the door handle. The video share on the first post shows to be private when YouTube opens. Suggestions? Also, it only leaks when stationary. In motion it's all good.

Replace the door seals and be happy. I haven't seen an ounce of water inside mine after doing door seals and I'm in less than $100 for the pair.

07 JK lower door leak
Hello,
I'm pretty new to this so this is my first post. Here we go, I have an 07 JKU and it leaks heavy on the front right door and a little bit on the right door in heavy rain. I found that I am missing a small foam seal on the right door and it is worn on the right. The piece is 1-2 inches below the the door harness strap. below the Where do I buy a replacement \ do you have this too?
