Yeah, I have had my hard top glass replaced once. 1 yr left on warranty. If it leaks again after warranty, I’m buying a soft top. This is ridiculous. Crap quality.

I thought someone said they changed the seal design.

We’ll see. Not holding my breath.

I think there have been people with multiple replacements in this thread.

@JeepCares mine leaks too. Such a hassle to have a window leak on such a pricey vehicle, wish I would have seen the leak prior to installing my bed canopy.

Dealer was trying to tell me to leave the truck for 2-3 days to diagnose a well-documented leak... Is this normal behavior because I do not trust them(especially this dealer) at all.

I had the same thing happen. They wanted it over night to verify a leak that was so bad that a garden hose and Stevie Wonder could have diagnosed it. My service managed said that Stellanis makes them take pictures of the glass and send it in and sometimes wants follow up pictures. Do not know if thats true or not.

I asked if I could bring it in the day they were going to diagnose and he said no so I left. No way am I leaving it for that long. I already had a bad experience with this dealer which is why I didn't purchase there, may have to drive further for a better experience.

I have a 2021 gladiator with multiple leaks in my top right now I’m driving around in a Poole ….I have other concerns that have not been resolved by the dealer. The other concern is a clunking noise in the rear of the car they can hear it but the attempts have not fixed it.

Can add me too. Had our first heavy rain yesterday since I got the gladiator. It was not much of a leak.

Has anyone tried flowable silicone windshield sealer? I have used it very successfully on windows in the past. I am still under warranty but with how these repairs seem hit or miss and my overall hatred for dealing with service departments I am looking at alternatives. I may just squish some weather stripping in there.

I didn't know there was such a thing as flowable silicone. I used black silicone around my entire rear window. The result doesn't look bad as I don't have a color matched top so it looks like it belongs. I also had to add silicone to the bottom corners of the center slider section as I still got a lot of water in my top even after sealing the perimeter of the entire window. The way the weather stripping overlaps (or doesn't) around the center slider left big voids for water intrusion. Seems ok now but I haven't tried opening and closing the slider since I siliconed it being that it's winter. I'm not holding my breath...

Damn. You win.

Yes, my dealer used the Mopar flowable silicone on mine as a bandaid to fix the leak
so far it has hold fine. I waited at the dealership while they did the work.

Yes indeed. It’s designed just for things like this. It flows into all the gaps yet remains flexible.
