Water leak above passenger door

[Banned]

Doors haven't been off since the summer, not our first rain storm here in WA and the leak just seemed to start this past week. I'll pull and adjust the door see if that helps. I took a look at the door seal and couldn't tell where exactly it was entering the cab.

If the leak is that big, I'd put it in a dark garage and have someone shine a flashlight around the suspect areas while you observe from inside the cab. If the door edges aren't standing proud from the body, they're adjusted correctly. When I open my doors, I can see on the paint where the weatherstrip has made contact all the way around, so maybe check that too.

Has anyone found a fix for this without dealership assistance?

Is everyone checking to see if the weep holes are clear? Simple fix, with a wire or blast it with an air compressor

I had a trickle visible but will give it a clean all the same.

No noticeable leaking today after fiddling with the seal around the top corner a bit this morning, but far less heavy rain today. Will perform a light test this weekend when I can gather a helping hand.

Thank you all.

Today is about the 4th time that I've noticed a water leak after a rain storm. It's coming in from the top of the passenger door, close to the hinge side of the door - you can see the rain drops down the window, door handle, side door, etc. Anyone have this issue? I've read here on the site about the rear glass, but nothing about the front area. I've tried to reseat the freedom panels, but that didn't seem to do anything for me. I'm guessing it's running down from the roof gusset and getting past seals...

Any ideas or experience are appreciated!

Had the exact same issue... It has something to do with the drainage, but I have not figured out what exactly is it... I poured a lot of water at the top yesterday to see if I could figure it out, it did not leak a bit........ Today it rained for about an hour and when I opened the door, it was wet... Kinda annoying....

Mine started leaking about a week after taking it from the delaer, brand new..... It was clean as a whistle...

I had a roof leak on the passenger side freedom panel. wife not happy. I removed the panel and there is a weep hole in the A-pillar, I think. I straightened out a coat hanger and pushed it through. it was clogged with pine needles. no more leaks and that was a year ago. hope this helps
