Gladiator leaking water

[fzeni]

Over the summer my Gladiator was exposed to a couple of storms that resulted in water accumulation on the floor on the passenger side both front and back. The dealership could not replicate the situation a did not find any issues but the situation happened again last week.

has anyone encountered the same issue?

What top do you have that would help us out if we knew that

The first time it happens I was using the hard top. The last 2 times I was using the Bestop Sunrider

Better get used to this happening. Every Jeep wrangler I ever owned leaked. I'm hoping the Gladiator will be different but I'm not holding my breath, one of the reasons I chose the Hardtop over the soft top. I always had more success with the Hard top not leaking than the soft top. Dealership never could replicate my leaks and I tried everything you could imagine in my JKU, when I sold it to the dealership it had 2" of water in both floorboards because it had been raining for 4 days straight. They still have me $11,000 for it with 132,000 miles on it. It's a jeep thing, comes with the ownership

I have the Bestop sunrider and it’s been on all summer and I haven’t had a leak so check and make sure the seals are on right and I have never had a leak with the freedom panels on

Are you sure it's simply not the AC? mine seems to have a ton of condensation after i turn it off....drip, drip, drip...... creating a huge puddle.

My JK hard top leaks more than when I had the soft top installed....just saying it/leakage follows no consistent pattern of hard top vs soft top...

I have the factory soft top, and have no leak issues, other than the poor rain channel design that pours water on you when you open the door.

My JK had terrible leaks around the front door top corner. Had to remove my carpet permanently and leave the plugs out. Ended up adding a foam tape layer in the door jam, and it helped, but was far from water tight.

The hard top I had on a 2010 JKU leaked everywhere. The soft top on my 2012 JKR is still leak free after almost 9 years. I don't know what voodoo was used when they made this soft top, but it's been the best soft top I've ever owned. I can't believe it hasn't fallen apart yet.

What is "door jam"? Some kind of hinge lube or seal conditioner?
