Doors leaking...air

[hickman785]

Has anyone noticed alot of cold air getting in around or through the doors of their Gladiator? I work over night in my Jeep and on cold nights I can have the heat on full blast and hot, and yet I still feel a cold breeze in the floorboard, coming from the doors. I feel cold air all around the door edges and even around some of the bolts that hold the door panel on.

Have you had it back to the dealer yet?

Yup. It’s a Jeep thing

I drove mine in -10°F weather last week, and other than a bit of radiated cold, any air leakage was minimal. I had the temperature set at 76° on auto, and was driving in shirtsleeves.
So no, it's not, "A Jeep Thing."

I can't say I've noticed anything of that sort either. I concur...it is not "A Jeep thing."

Have you had your doors off this year? Maybe the way they restored compressed the seals. Definitely take it in have the dealership replace the seals or adjust the door catch.

Although I can’t speak directly about a Gladiator (mine is in shipping limbo and hasn’t arrived yet) — my 5 year old JKU never had this issue. Nor has it ever had any water leaks that others have experienced.

The door gasket is definitely suspect. But odd coming in around the door bolts too. May want to check the firewall for dislodged grommets and/or boots. Had that problem in an F-250 once and it was a poorly installed boot. At speed it would let the air blow through but it looked okay to eye otherwise. The aha moment was when it moved as I touched it. It had already been to the dealership twice and they couldn’t find the problem. I reseated the boot and problem solved.

At about 75 mph, if an18-wheeler or large SUV/Pickup goes by me on the highway ... I can feel air seep into the cab, more obvious in cold temps of course ... other than that it's fine
