Mine leaks in the exact same spot. Dealer "fixed" it twice. They added stiffening rings to the inside of the weather stripping on both doors in certain areas. I still get a very minor leak on the passenger side when it rains really hard. Before I would get about 2" of standing water. I still get a small amount on the drivers side, but it's hit and miss. It's definitely better.

All I can figure is at the top of the door, when the water runs off the windshield header it gets behind the weather stripping somewhere at the top of the A pillar and runs down and comes out at the base of the door.

What top do you have on when having this issue? I have the same issue on my 13'jk with a soft top and have found a issue with the design of the soft top where a foam tab allows water to drip down into the handle / door. I also have the issue same as the OP.
