Thanks for sharing your experience here! I have a 2018 JK Unlimited-we had a deluge of rain fall over the last couple of days, low and behold my drivers side floor was full of water, literally like 4” ! It was bone dry when I bought it from the original owner in 2021, he had never taken the freedom panels off. I had them off a few times this summer, oh yeah it only had 6000 miles on it! I inspected and cleaned the dust from the seals before securing the tops for the winter. All seemed to be fine, albeit a small drip here and there but recently it has gotten worse. Your video is my first step in fixing the problem. I did notice, from the factory there were these little sticky foam pieces that have clearly been lost in removing the top. Gonna try and duplicate those.. Happy Jeeping!

My dealership hid the leaking problem from me to make the sale. When I got home after my purchase...I found water on the passenger floor. The dealer also left wet carpeting in the back trunk area which was suspect to me. I kept hounding them to fix the problem. After 3 attempts ,they hired a professional to stop a multitude of leaks. That "fix" lasted only 2 seasons before the leaks returned. I then paid the same pro to fix it again. Next season...the leaks returned and I had to do this fixing myself monthly ....weekly...daily. The worst 4 years of owning a vehicle. Yes...I loved my Jeep but...I will NEVER spend my money on another.

My 2017 JKU had tranny problems would not go into Reverse and when did would pop right back out as the clutch was released. Was told by Jeep dealer this is not too uncommon with manual transmission on the JKU Jeeps from 2015 forward. Took two months to get authorized and fixed then back to me. They did give me a loaner pickup from RAM but it too had problems with the climate control and it was a 2018 fully loaded one. Now I have a loud electrical SNAP that occurs under the dash on the drivers side, and total loss of all power, and engine shuts down after pulling away from a stop. This has happened twice to me yet the jeep dealer is at a loss as to cause or remedy .
