Has anyone had any issues with their door windows sagging? I noticed my rear passenger window was loose enough that it let water in during a rain storm. Upon closer inspection I can place my hand on the window and shift it around quite a bit.

Are they manual or power windows. I got manual windows in mine and I have noticed that both rear is windows have done it at times. Haven't taken it to the dealership for it yet, but planning on it.

Does it move up and down, or is it loose in the weatherstripping?

It moves up/down/left/right. It feels like the lift mechanism is failing and won’t hold the window in place.

My manual ones do it as well. I figured it was a manual only issue, interesting that the power ones do the same.

Yeah it's only when I spray it off at the car wash that I noticed it. It seems to fall a little bit at a time over a span of time. I'm not sure what could be done to prevent it.

Only one of my windows is exhibiting this behavior and I noticed it when I was spraying my truck with a low pressure wand at a car wash… are you seeing this on multiple windows?

I notice it on the back ones.

Both my rear windows, passenger and driver's side. I thought at first my granddaughter wasn't rolling them up hard enough but I rolled them up myself and went to the car wash and they were fine. Went again a few days later and nothing. Waited about 3 weeks, no one in the back seat and then when I sprayed it off I noticed water and suds on the inside on the door and on the inside of the window.

The plot thickens… went outside to check the window (100 degrees today) and all the sagging/looseness was gone…

I haven't checked mine since it's warmed up. Need to take a look. I haven't paid much attention to it in a while honestly.

Sounds like Jeep used the same mechanism in the rear windows as they do on the drivers seat elevation. My seat keeps dropping by itself after I raise it. Now I'm going to have to check my rear windows for this issue. God I love my JEEP!!!?
