2020 Gladiator rear window leak (so far i suspected the actual small opening window, but actually it is entire top of the window)

[berb]

Dealer did mine they brought in an outside company. I think (need to check better) it still leaks. It looks NOTHING like your repair yours looks professional

I considered myself very lucky. Also, the reason I know they replaced the rear window was because they left the old one in my truck bed.

I would love to if it turned out like yours. I think a lot of it depends on the dealership. I have called 2 local dealerships here and they will no longer process a rear window leak due to so many issues/time it has taken to correct it in the past. They referred me to another Jeep Dealership that is over an hours drive away. Also, several members have stated they have had it fixed at their dealership for it leak again later or damage to the top. Your repair looks great.

I feel very lucky with the repair that I got. I think the key to mine was the glass was replaced with new glass and the trim piece. I have no idea what they used, but it is textured like my top and I cannot find the seam, so it is one piece, like a rubber band.

I would pay good money for that seal. They would make a killing if they would sell it to the public. Apparently, there is a huge demand for something that works.

I tried the silicone vacuum tube as well as a couple different diameter foam rubber seals, but my leak persisted. Finally put on a window weather stripping (rubber moulding). It doesn't appear as clean without it, but it won't leak now. I sealed it across the top with some silicone sealant.

I bought mine through GT Glass. Similar product may be avialble elsewhere. I searched on Amazon, but a Google search took me to GT Glass.

I got the 25mm, which looks just fine. I think 19mm would be too small, as it won't cover the gap and sit flush at the top corners.

recently experienced leak and out of warranty, thanks for this. I'm waiting on the molding. In the meantime gorilla tape lol

Very functional! Mopar should just put a part number on a roll of tape and refer to it on a service bulletin. Maybe even just include it with every JT.

I chose a DIY fix after reading horror stories of damaged vehicles.

This is the way. 7mm silicone fuel line. Costs ~$15 and takes ~20 minutes to install. No more leaks.

Super ez install and still looking great and no leak since I replicated this.

Has it held up?

The fact that Jeep WON'T address this with an updated design is proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that they give ZERO FUKS.

This is a massive hassle for anyone trying to address through the warranty. Thank goodness we can jalopy our rigs with vacuum hose since Jeep is too stupid to fix it.

Has it held up?

Yes, perfectly.

I made this thread when I fixed mine:

13 months later through massive SoCal rain storms not one leak.

Mine just started leaking today, short of three years with no issues. Taking it to the dealer next week.
