GLADIATOR BACK WINDOW LEAK

[JeepCares]

Well, crap. It's raining here in Ventura too, although lighter than everywhere else. Guess what I found in the Jeep?

Sorry to hear this, Sespe. If you need any help getting this resolved at your dealer, let us know.

I have same problem, water dripping on both sides. Looks identical to the pics above. I took it to the dealer. They removed the window and said the frame has 2 cracks. They have been trying to order a new window since march 25. Now they are saying they expect it to be shipped on april 27. This is pretty sad service. I just want my truck back!

I gave up and fixed it myself. Issue is Gone. Save yourself the head ache!

Thank you for this! I checked and mine has a gap in the weather stripping, maybe 1/5th of an inch long, on the top side middle of the window. I am going to put a dab of silicone in there to seal it up.

First post here. Thanks for the weather strip idea. It worked! I added a second strip around the top and sides of the back window.

I've got the same issue, have any of you guys had any luck with warranty work for the leaks?

I bought my truck used, so I'm not sure if I still even qualify for the factory warranty, even though I only have 29k on the clock, so I may need to seal it myself. Thankfully it doesn't rain much here, only noticed it today after coming out of the car wash that my rear sub was wet and there were water spots on the rear window.

Factory is 100% transferable. If you're under 36k and less than 3 years from in-service date, you're covered.

I wish there was a better turns around time and a better effort to get it fixed. Never did go through warranty because of the months it took for them to get this issue resolved. Save yourself the headache & good luck ?

I just realized mine was doing this the other day, mine appears to only be leaking from the top of the rear window, it’s sad considering my launch edition only has 5k miles on it and it’s leaking

Mines did the same thing. I just went to Homedepot and got some weather strip.
Don't want to deal with the lead time with the dealers.

My rear window is leaking from the top as well, i have about 13k on the clock, but I also got my hardtop line-x'd would that void my warranty?

I bet its something on the assembly line that their missing with the glass/window installers. There seems to be 2 gaskets holding the window in place. These 2 are located in each side. Dead center between the window and the roof top is where my 1st photo is taken. It is perfecting aligned as if there should be 3 gaskets. Missing the 3rd gasket in the center. That’s where I think the leak is from.

I’m still waiting for this heavy rain to see if my fix worked. What I did figure out before trying to fix anything is....
if you park in your drive way and your drive way has a small slope, have your window toward the bottom of the slop. This will help the water to run out Vs. in.

Also- I believe gladiator Rubicon are water resistant up to 30min. So as long as it’s not much leaking in, you should be good. Just annoying as hell!

how bad is your leak ? floorboard carpet leaking wet or a few drips coming down the back ?
