Default jeep leaking

this is after 2 yrs of trying to get it to stop. Is anyone else having persistant leaks small or large? Am I just this lucky or does everyone have some kind of leak? Really really hate to get rid of my jeep but this is really really annoying and I know I'm take a loss on it. The leak guy can't find it but now mh rear floor is getting water in it. He reseated all the seals and has chased it from the windshield channel, the a pillar, the b pillar and now is at a loss. Am I just over reacting or should I keep pursuing them to buy back or replace it? I'm at a real loss and need advice not the IT'S A JEEP! B.S.

Many people have leaks. Mine is from old weather stripping I guess. I have an 08 with 100k on it. I just have been to lazy to fix it yet.

First off you would be over reacting if the deciding factor for you getting rid of your Jeep was because the top leaks. Second, who is "the leak guy" and what are his credentials?

Have you replaced all seals?

the main factor is that due to previous leaks they have had to replace radio and window switches from shorting out, not sure what electrical issues are waiting next. The leak guy is a company the local dealerships use in my area. Don't want to get rid of it but don't want what could be an electrical nightmare either. they have replaced door seals, siliconed them, adjusted doors 3 times.

hmm....that sucks man sorry to hear that. Have you ever compared the rake of your windshield and frame in comparison to another JK? I ask because I have a buddy who gets leaks and his rake differs from mine which causes his top not to fit correctly. I would of started with actually replacing all seals to eliminate that variable. Soft top or hard top?

Chrysler knows me by name. lol They use a 3rd party to which I have a direct number to. think I'm call in the morning and see about getting a trade deal on another one, just not sure about all my mods. Hoping they will let me pull them or they pay for them to be added to the new one.

Two of the dealerships here in Birmingham use the same third party company for leaks (Leak Pro). I was told (by the dealership) they have been in business for 10 years and were very good. I had my doubts but took my 2013 in to get a big leak, coming from somewhere and landing in the front passenger floorboard, fixed. Two decent rains later, no puddles. The company said the body seam at the firewall wasn't sealed and that mine wasn't the first they'd seen like that. I wonder if this is the same group you've been using. I'm not holding my breath but so far so good.

yes it's leak pro. the first was Jim Burke where I bought it, where they LEAK PRO, decided to work on it outside top off in the rain. This is where the electrical issues began. Since, Hendrick's has been dealing with trying to fix it and have been great, just hands are tied as to what they can do.
