The very fact you are concerned with the ESS starter is an indication that the cycles is increased over conventional starters. Otherwise, what is the concern?
It certainly applies … to everything and anything. None of which implicates the ESS starter as being superior or inferior to earlier designs. If FCA has indicated the ESS starter is engineered to accommodate increased cycles, than ‘x’ would only apply to non-ESS starters. ‘X times the ESS...
Does this take into account that engineers for all auto makers knew the starter would cycle considerably more with ESS than without? Hard to imagine they would stick with a design from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s knowing the cycles would increase significantly With ESS.
It is going to pool a bit because it is canvas… but it is relatively tight so it is not an issue.
if yours is sagging it needs to be corrected or replaced.
Looks great! how did you deal with the tailgate holes? Did you fill them or just overlay with the “Jeep” letters? Are the letters solid enough that they do not reveal where the holes are?
If the info in this TSB does not help, you could try narrowing down the origin point by putting a rag in the door seal to see if it gets wet when it rains.

Looks like the heat shrink may extend too far on the added connector - impacting the integrity of the connection under the existing connector as mentioned by others.
@Jimmy07 addid these notes to the DIY posting - not clear if this was applicable on.y to the GC or all builds:
Connect to the BCM and scan for faults, make a note of any faults, and clear them.
