Have tried the truckmaster route, dang things still dripped on me

 

[VA Gladiator]

If anyone's interested the parts needed for this are listed. I have put the header seal on with the rivets and fits just fine haven't checked it driving in rain but hasn't leaked with the hose. The troughs I haven't figured out how to get them installed , from the factory they're held on to the A pillar roll bar tube with mini christmas trees and don't feel like drilling a bunch of holes in the nice painted roll bar. Have tried VHB tape but that didn't stick guess I'll try adhesion promoter next time.

Gotta watch where the intimacy happens for full engagement. If not, well you know.

my rain gutter drips when I open the door, but it doesn't leak while I'm driving in the rain. I'm not going to gamble on the dealership fixing the drip only to give me a leak. hahaha

Thanks for the info though

my rain gutter drips when I open the door,

That's what this is designed to fix - as far as the pictures I posted - that's what they catch the water coming forward out of the drip rail and redirect it down the A pillar.

Hello,

Just a reminder that if you have a 2020 model and experience water dripping from the top gutter when opening your front door after heavy rain and/or a car wash, there is a Technical Service Bulletin remedy available through your dealership! Reference TSB 23-041-21 Rev A. Please note, this repair is covered under the provisions of your 3 Year/36,000 mile new vehicle basic warranty.

Feel free to reach out to our team if you have any questions.

You really could have posted that 2 weeks ago (in my case)since you only fix poor design quality under warranty.

That "poor design" has been in use for years. It's just that the buyers have changed and demand these to be more like a Grand Cherokee or better.

It happened with other Jeeps in the 90s - people who wear suits and ties started driving them to work and complained about noise, so they had to work to quite down Jeep engines and Jeeps in general.

Have tried remounting them a few times always end up with drips. So I decided to try this solution.

No drips, even after conversion to a soft top. I guess the aunti-botics are working, no grabbing the urinal plumbing either.

I have a '22 with "the fix" . Water still drips inside right onto the door sill panel and/or your leg. I'm sure it works to some degree though comparatively.

Yes, it's amazing when customers asking for improvements in design can result in improvements in design!

Wait, are you saying this fixes the "I open the door and rain pours in from the gutter" problem that's been around since as long as I can remember? I have an MY22 and I don't have this "extra" bit of mucket/rubber that you have in your pic...

That pic is of a 2022 Rubicon I took in April of this year.........
