Hi, I just got a new 15' JK couple of month ago and about 2 weeks ago notice a my carpet wet in the passenger side close to the door, I made an appointment with the service department at the dealer I got it back they said a company they work with that does seals came in and work on the JK and gave it back to me now its raining again and I'm getting the same wet carpet in the same spot. Made a new appointment with the dealer again today.

Has anybody had this issue or has an idea of where could it be coming from?

Is it coming in from the door seal or the roof?

Common problem. My 2012 did this. Turns out I was over-tightening the freedom panel screws. I keep them loose now (just a few rotations to catch the threads) and never had a problem with leaking since. Others have had much worse issues.

I don't see where is coming from!! it looks and feels dry along the seals in the door and the freedom panels.

I've been lucky. With my '12, I don't even use the screws.

I don't see anything in the panels everything feels dry!

Which top are you running (hard or soft top) and is it factory or aftermarket? That will help us give you suggestions on things to try.

it's the factory hard freedom top!

This is a well known problem with many threads on here. I have the problem on my drivers side 2012 JKU with freedom top.

One key is always never over tighten the roof screws. That will cause a leak, also sometimes when I have had leaks I have taken off my freedom panels and put them back on. That helped reset the seals and stop the leak from reoccurring
