Default Leak on passenger side

After taking my jeep to the dealer 5 times and fixing every possible thing that could leak except the problem I am finally dry after heavy rains. The leak specialist found that a missing bushing in the rear door hinge was the issue. The missing bushing did not let the door sit right and there was play in the door causing the leak I just bought the jeep several months ago and never had the doors off yet. So the bushing was missing from the factory. If you got this leak check the hinges or tell you service people to check them.
