Default Where the hell is it coming from

Know there is a tsb about the gaskets but dealership keeps saying it doesn't pertain to my vin.
I pulled the dash side cover and dry as a bone. Ran my hand all under the dash nothing! Stuck my finger in the hole at the a pillar its dry too. Still have a dribble from where they replaced my header gasket cause they said I messed it up putting the top on. Here's some pics. Any more ideas?

Dry hole and a dribble? You better go somewhere other than the dealership!

On a serious note go to the dealer and see if they have a water leak specialist that comes in a certain day of the week. Usually a tech will throw whatever at it or no problem found because they don't want to deal with it. I think the one we used to use (sublet) was called the Water Dr.
Not sure if your dealer does anything like that or not but may be worth a shot to ask.

They did that 2 weeks ago and said it was sealed after the header gasket replacement. So that's why I'm stumped. Top or panels have not been removed since.

I would take it back and have them go over it again. I don't know what your state laws are regarding lemon law but I once saw GM buy a Cavalier back because the customer claimed the glove box would keep popping open and cause distraction while driving deeming it unsafe. Be nice in a asshole kind of way and let them know you are going to take other measures if they can't get it fixed.

It's got my old hardtop from my 07 on it(it's a 2011) they said they would not warranty any more leaks without putting the softtop back on. May just have to do that but they also said if I put the hard top back on it would just leak again! This is bs I know cause my 07 never leaked a drop.

That's why I noticed it. Went to the store jeep was parked in garage was in the rain about 15 minutes looked down there it was(passenger side just me door never opened). Guess I'm have to swap tops again and take it back to stealership.

Also it's wet on top of the slush mat not the carpet.

Still getting flooded jeep even after they did the leak test and said it was fixed. Went to get in it a minute ago now water poured in above sound bar, plus the freedom panels sound like they are full of water. WTC!!! Now this on top of the leaking a pillar, b pillar, and windshield! Is anyone else's older model hardtop leaking on the newer model?
