Have any of you applied the "foam kit" that is used in the TSB for making the tops stop leaking? I have a copy of the TSB and it is step by step, but if there are any tips or tricks not mentioned in it that work better I am open to any suggestions. I bought the "foam kit" from the dealer yesterday (part number 68026937ab) and plan to do it Friday. Anyone done one?


disclaimer:
Before anyone starts saying "take it to the dealer"... Yes it is still under warranty (it has 15k miles on it). Yes the dealer has tried to fix it multiple times. Yes I have had it to another dealer that couldn't fix it either and told me "all jeeps leak." Yes I payed for the kit out of my own pocket. The other dealer told me "I don't think we can fix it". They are trying to get out of helping me by not giving me loaner cars, or telling me that my house (8 miles away) is too far for the shuttle to drop me off. It is much more than just a little dribble so please don't tell me I am whining about nothing.

I didn't even know there was a TSB for the leaking tops. What's in this kit exactly, and how much was it???




Mine's going in for the 5th time next week for the leaking top... and hopefully they'll do my clutch too...

my g/f works at the dealership that told me "all Jeeps leak" so I get employee pricing. It cost me about $21. I think retail price is only like $32ish. Although it isnt intended for retail it is for shop use on the TSB. Give the parts dept. that number and they will sell it to you.

they have a few TSBs on it. 23-002-08, 23-020-08, and 23-025-08 are listed in this PDF I have entitled JK_WATER_LEAKS_ALL.PDF. You can find it online.

MY roof leaks all the time!!!!! Everytime it rains.......... Oh wait I forgot to put the top up. Just kiddin. but my passenger side wind bar on the roof has this little foam piece that is about to blow off I think. I'm certain that is needed for something anyone have any suggestions on what I should/could use to glue that thing back down?

Well the foam kit they sold me has peel and stick on the back of the pieces. It is 3M so I imagine they make a similar adhesive available in a tube.

Nobody has done one of these? I was sure someone worked at the dealer or something.
