I expect that it would happen sooner or later either from a failing seal or the owners failure to put it back together properly.

Recently I have had a leak that I do not consider "A Jeep thing". I was at the dealership on Friday about a front door leak on both sides in which they replaced the door seals. After spending some time talking to the mechanic and service rep, found that they have seen a number of different issues ranging from deformed panels, seals and owner error. I did get from the conversation that most issues have been with the front top or door seals but it's not all hard top owners, just a chosen few.

Unfortunately, my driveway is on an incline and I park head-in so the front of the Jeep is a little higher. After the last rain storm, which dropped about 2 inches of rain, the interior was dry. Not until I pulled out, drove a bit and then used the brakes did the water come pouring in at the front loop over the mirror and down onto the dash and radio and my right leg. These trucks have been out since 07. Certainly by now this problem should have been overcome. It should not be classified as a "Jeep Thing"

My service rep did mention they have replaced some deformed panels, perhaps this could be your issue?? or maybe not. The mechanic could not reproduce my problem even though it happens every time it rains. I had to do the research to find out how the water was flowing in before the mechanic really understood my problem. I won't know if the door seals will be the final resolution, until it rains. I do however feel good about the people that are working with me on the problem to get the problem resolved.

Good luck with yours!
