Default When it Rains

Not that it rains a lot in Arizona, but when it does...08 Wrangler Unlimited, no leaks or problems till you open the front doors and then there is a stream of water from the roof right about your knee as you swing out from the seat. Perhaps a collection of water from the roof panel seam. Must be a way to stop this or dam it up. Is there an aftermarket gutter? Thanks for some directions. Don Parrish Phoenix

It's very annoying.

Five or six years ago, there was a product a guy developed to redirect the water so it followed the A pillar.
There is no way I can remember who it was, or on which forum I saw it.

I have wanted to come up with a solution, but it's one of those deals where when it's raining, it's too wet to work on it, and when it's not raining, I forget about it.

New door seals eliminated most of the steam on my 2010 and the part number went from an -AM revision to an -AU revision so there have definitely been some changes happening. Door seals are relatively cheap from the dealer, I think I was under $100 for both of them.
