Take a good visual peek at the rubber seal, Is it broken? Sitting in its rail properly? Mine leaks if the door jam is filthy. Where is the water comin in from?

I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends

It come from the top and it runs down all the way to my floor. But I think the leaking is coming from the top of the door

Soft top or hard top?

Check the reveal around the doors.....they can be adjusted via the hinge.

It is a soft top. What is the reveal?

Chances are you need the foam kit. They wear out and need to be replaced on both the top and on top of the door surrounds. Mine need to be replaced now. I've tried all kinds of aftermarket stuff, but nothing seems to work as well as the factory foam.

If someone knows of a better alternative, I would love to hear.

OK take a look through this PDF document. There are a lot of helpful hints and ways to diagnose where its leaking and how to fix it. CLICK HERE

The reveal is the gap or amount of space between the door and the door jamb. You want it to be fairly equal all around the door. If the gap is inconsistent there is an opportunity for leaks.

Doors and Panels Leak
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am having the same problems with both front doors leaking. The dealer tried fixing it and during the process somehow created a leak in my driver side panel which now collects water every time it rains, and the water drains out of the front clamp above and onto the media center.

We got rain last night and I went to wipe up remaining water on the driver and passenger side floors. Lifted the carpet and I noticed that there were holes drilled into the floor to drain the water...looks like a quick fix the dealer had tried to drain the water without me knowing about it. Can anyone confirm that there are only the plugs on the floors for water drainage, not regular drilled holes...I don't recall seeing drilled holes in the floors like this. I am livid about this!!!

Thanks for any input...

I have a two door soft top and used foam for a house door you buy at lowes. Just cut and stick to the plastic door jam where the rubber seal already is.
