leak fixed?
I had the common leak over the door handles on my 07.
I was going to fix it myself with the weather stripping but it is too cold for adhesives. I was tired of sitting in water every morning so I took my Jeep to a local dent shop.
The guy there rolled down the windows, placed a bit of 2x4 in the door (below the bottom of the window in the door jam) and pushed HARD on the top of the door - he had the Jeep rocking from pushing so hard. I was pretty much like this:
This morning, however, no water. We will see how it progresses over the week. He said there is a bulletin about it and that is the recommended fix.
If I weren't there I never would have known but it was a little nerve-wracking to see.

Leak
That is an old fix that has been around as long as car doors have been.
Most shops will not do it in front of a customer because it does look bad, but it is effective.
