Hey ! I use that silicone spray all the time on the roof/door seals/tailgate seals. Even on the zippers of the soft top. Touch wood I've never had a leak and also the doors never "seize" shut because their froze. I do get water coming in when it's raining and the doors open right at the top of the roof where it attaches to the windshield frame but thats not a "leak". I love my silcone !! Another trick is to spray it all in the fender wells, the mud etc. won't stick and it a lot easier to clean next time !

 

my wrangler is going back into the dealership 3rd time for driver side floor leaks,its getting irrating

 

Hey guys I had a class on the water leaks today on the freedom tops and soft top. Your dealer has the info and KITS to fix this problem.. Be persistent with them !! There are alot of steps to fixing these leaks. If I can help with what I have learned I will be more than happy to.. dirtfan50@yahoo.com
I work for a dealership in Kentucky USA

 

yes i would appreciate any info,my leaks are on the driver's side floor right where your left foot sits and gets wet during the jeep standing still in the rain.
Dealership here just keeps me coming as there leak expert cannot find anything and it will not leak with a hose bath.
i am going next week so if you have info i would appreciate it

It will be interesting here in southwestern ontario to see how the dealerships tackle this ,so far its been the leak specialist only no repairs or replacements yet.
I have the procedure printed out

 

Hey all if you get a chance thank the guy on the link he posted. Im sure he had alot of time in it. By the way I finished one today with no leaks (so far so good)
Good luck to everyone..

 

I hope this helps as i really don't like a wet floor mat as it will rot and smell ,it would be different if i was driving through water that high
The pic attached is a co2 lasered image of the jeep front on birch ply

 

On tues i took the jeep in for the water leak find again ,this time they did look at procedures for water leak detection from chrysler,they ended up saying they would order new door seals both front and passenger and put them in next week.
So we'll see

 

I have to chuckle reading all this. Someone told me "It's a jeep; what did you expect?" My own opinion is that the design engineers didn't stay up late at all, thinking out some obvious problems. I doubt that they even put the prototype through the typical water or temperature torture tests. The gutters over the doors are a prime example of what I mean. But then I could see that the problem would be more demanding only because the roof is removable - now that would add to the price for sure. I've solved many problems by just keeping it parked in the garage and only bringing it out on sunny days. But if I get caught in a shower I just put the fan on HI for a good positive interior pressure. I could go on about the "non-marring" plastic interior finish too, but what the hey - it's just a jeep! Lol.
