Leaking door seals

[Solar Sparky]

Has anyone had to replace their door seals on their new gladiator? I’m having my rear door seals replaced, and already had the front doors replaced. Technician said that he saw a leak in the rear window seal, so, in less than 25,000 miles, and two years, I will have all new seals. 2021 gladiator Mojave

Why are your door seals being replaced? Water coming in around the doors in a rain or car wash?
Extremely odd to have door seals leak because there's so much give and tolerance with them. Same technology that's been used for since longer than I've been alive.

Never had a drop in mine.

? were you with me? Yes, exactly.
First thing I noticed was through the car wash, and like I told the dealer, my Chevy Colorado doesn’t leak. Then one day coming down a steep mountain, in torrential rain, water was pouring in on my wife. Unfortunately, we still had about 4000’ of downhill ?. Once they fixed the front doors, the rear doors started. And my first thought was, this part should be figured out by now

Both my front doors near the back upper corners will have water leak through them when going around corners in the rain. I can't exactly figure out where the water intrusion is though.

The only leaks I've had in my 21 Mojave ended up being my own fault lol.
Going down engineers pass while it rained I had a constant stream of water leaking down the drivers side window and my left shoulder. Nothing when I was level.

I ended up figuring out that I needed to trim a few spots of my headliner. It was just thick enough to not allow the freedom tops to compress properly in the rear. That was annoying as hell..

That’s exactly where mine were leaking. New seals appear to have fixed it

Dealing with leaking door seals can be a real pain, can’t it? I had a similar issue not too long ago. First, check if the seals are cracked or worn out. Sometimes, just cleaning them can help a lot. A bit of soap and water does wonders.
If the leaks keep happening, you might consider replacing them. I’ve heard great things about Mantaline for door seals. They have a solid reputation for quality, and their stuff seems to hold up well against the weather.
When you get new seals, make sure to install them properly. A little effort can prevent more serious headaches down the line.
