Multiple Issues I'm struggling to get fixed

[Everyday Normal Engineer]

It's a shit design installed in a shit manner by a shit manufacturer. Shit dealers can't fix it and often destroy your hardtop and rear seats in the attempt. Fix it yourself:

15 months in - no leaks. it is NOT WORTH the risk at the dealer when you can install a simple $15 fix that holds up and looks factory. Some guys who went the dealer route are on their 3rd window. Imagine taking it to a dealer and not having your truck for 3 months while they scratch your hardtop, rip your seats, leave broken glass in the vehicle, and you get the truck back and the WINDOW STILL LEAKS!!

No thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply! I saw your post on the repair and that is my next plan.

Currently scheduled with another dealer to see what their glass guy says if it is actually cracks in the glass or if the other dealer is BS me.

If you pull the black trim piece up top off ( interior ) and spray the back window you will see exactly where it's coming in and it's usually a plastic crack in the frame

2. Death wobble after about 8-9 months, fixed with steering dampner replacement.

Surprised nobody else has mentioned this. The steering dampener is just a band-aid. It did not fix the problem, it just masked it. The DW will likely occur again so just be prepared for that.

my back window has leaked since day one, and I’ve had one loss of power steering issue in 35k miles. You are not alone.

Does the trim piece just pull off? I was searching online and did not see anything.

Yeah I saw that the steering dampener was a band-aid fix. Hoping it was the issue for me, but if not I will keep an eye on it and return to the dealer if needed.

Yes...use a trim tool. I broke 3 clips.

Keep in mind you don't need to remove the trim piece to fix this problem I was just more really curious where the hell the water was coming in.

Hey appreciate the reply on my venting post!

#4 (connected services) has probably been the most frustrating as I have had it for months and went through so many "fixes". I have a Jeep Wave and STAR case open so hopefully it gets resolved.

#5 (rear window leak) has just been the latest issue, but was shocked to find out it wasn't covered under warranty. I don't know how they can say there are cracks in the glass causing the leak but there are no visible cracks to see. Hoping the Jeep Wave case will help.

Check this video out for your leaky rear window. There’s a link for the product in the video.
