Has anyone else had issues with rain coming into your cab from the frame weep holes? Dealership couldn't get it to leak, until I left the next day it did it again and every time since then.
Note: roof panels are dry and sealed during and after rain, as well as the inner door frame. The only place I get water intrusion is from the weep hole and then down the inside of my window onto my seat and floor.
Thanks, Jerod

Wondering the same. I've had my Gladiator for a week and the first rain we had my passenger door leaked at the top right corner when braking and turning.

Hey all,

Had the same issue, every time it rained water would drip on the window sill in the exact spot pictured.
For me the drain hole in the channel in the freedom panel had not been drilled out properly, there was a small flap of fibreglass that sat over the drain hole, all I did was to remove that little flap of fibreglass and it hasn't leaked since. I didn't need to drill it out or anything, literally just pulled the flap of fibreglass away with my fingers.
If I get a chance I will grab a pic but it's pretty obvious if you jump up and remove you front freedom panel you will see the channel and drain hole pretty easy in the rear section off roof

Worked for me, hope it helps you guys and gals

Cheers


Edit:
So it just started to rain here so not going to take my roof off to get a pic at the moment but pulled this off the net to give you an idea where the channel drain holes where in the back part off the roof, only one was blocked for me though
Cheers
