Jeep Door Seals during Isaac
Clearly Jeep door seals were not meant to withstand tropical storm force rain and wind. I left my jeep next to my dad's office during the storm while I stayed with a friend who had power, only to come back to a solid 4 inches of standing water on the passenger side. Lot's of fun in Mississippi this evening.

My 12JK 2 door with soft top weathered Isaac pretty well totally exposed in South Florida. I literally only saw 3 droplets of water on my passenger side slush mat. Everything else was bone dry!

My B pillar started leaking down the foam piece and into the passenger seat footwell. Took it to the dealership and they stuffed the weather stripping but it still didn't solve the issue. It looks as if the square foam piece that sits underneath the rubber elbow in the corner needs to be replaced. Anyone have any experience with this?

Im actually surprised by this. My 2012 seals real tight. I practically need to slam to doors to close them. It leaves me with the impression the darn thing is water proof.
