Jeep Still Leaks!!!!!
 

Well after 3 attempts of repairing the leak; I still have a leaky Jeep. So....up to this point the dealer has been looking around the passenger door; but I have recently noticed the leak comming from the fire wall. It looks like it is leaking some where from the upper right corner. Has anybody else had a similar leak in this area? Also I noticed while inspecting on the outside of the vehicle (right side, underneath the wiper shroud) a piece of plastic covering a hole. It has been painted over. To me, this is a mistake, as the left side has the same hole, but is uncovered. Has anybody else noticed this? Should I remove the plastic, or is it there for a reason. The hole is about 5" in diameter. Could this be a cause for the leak????
Thanks in advance.

I just had some warranty work done, and they are waiting on a part from a recall...a piece of foam to thwart leaks that the service guy said was missing??? Dunno maybe have your dealer run the VIN again for recall...its not a mailout recall.....those are usually safety related. I may have a part number, will have a look.....worth a try.

Part # would be great! Any idea where this foam goes? What dealer? Thanks fot the info!

Thanks! Getting little help from dealer. I feel the only way this will get fixed is if I tell them where and what to do! Pretty sad really.....

Re: Jeep Still Leaks!!!!!
 

What dealer do you use??? Ya they are very helpful and full of info when they take your money though....

I just put my soft top on last weekend and today was the test with a big rain storm. Yup, leaked like a boat with a big hole where those two plastic door frame peices meet at the top of the windshied frame. A quick trip to CTC for some thin weatherstripping tape and a quick look at the wifes' Jeep where to put it as hers doesn't leak and problem solved !

Any updates on the fix? After last nights rain, the passenger side carpet was damp....not soaked...just damp.

anyway the part from Chrysler was a simple piece of foam, much like weatherstripping (I think someone discovered that already if I remember correctly) about 3 inches long maybe 1/2 inch wide and installed (glued) it on the inside edge of the door, (closest to the dash) where there is no rubber, there is a gap there. who knows why. It wasnt a recall after all, but an "update", which is something the factory discovered may fix a problem. If you never have service you'll never be told....I'll try and get a pic of it to demonstrate....pretty simple....but not sure if it works....yet !! You would think they would just replace the rubber with a full piece. Dunno
