With the 4 Jeeps I’ve had, I have to say the seals have never been great. However, this JT has been the best so far.

The high pressure wash is about the same as pointing a pressure right it your seam... at the right angle it will get in. I’ve found most touchless washes to never be great anyways....

Other than the water getting in, did it do a good job?

The wash just got upgraded in early January, and did a good job. And the seals held up to the rest of the wash no soap got in. Just the entrance sprayer.

It came in around the bottom of the door.. no door threshold protection yet.

Never had a leak except for one wash, the roof leaked at where the freedom panels meet at the windshield. Just a small amount of moisture, maybe one drop

My seals seem to be fine. I washed it this weekend using foam cannon and gas powered pressure washer(white nozzle).

I get water sprayed up from the drain plugs as I put the rubber Mopar mats in. And the brushless car wash has an under body spray that’s seams to spray me.

I noticed during the high pressure wash, the same thing happened to mine. Rear passenger side leaked in pretty good...enough to hit me while in the driver seat. I thought it was hilarious.

Did you get the problem taken care of?
