I found 2 leaks on mine, wash it with jeep running with vents on high, put lots of soap on seams for top, if there is a leak it will bubble up. I found my leaks at b-pillars at the back corners of the front panels.

Hi all
sometimes a long thin strip of foam, kinda like the stuff used to seal house doors in winter, you might have to shave it down to get it thin, then you gently lift the seal and wedge it behind the spot that is leaking and this will help it fill in spot that is leaking or helps it contour itself better. Doesnt always work, but have seen dealer use this procedure to fix body leaks, other then seal replacment or body panel realignment.............................
