Interior leak!!
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?

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

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
