I think I was like #1,000! Thanks for showing me how to do it. I got the seals delivered yesterday and wanted to watch someone else do it first so I didn't mess anything up.
Spent 2 years with a leaking jeep. What a nightmare. I then traded it in for a silverado that had a leaky back window 😆. Anyway...I miss that darn jeep and hope I can use this advice in the future.
I live in South Florida and we have super heavy rain in the summer. My JK has this exact problem, and the floors are soggy as hell as I'm watching this. Thanks for the info. Will try this.
Thanks for watching! These specifically fix the leak that happens right at that windshield frame seal, where it meets the door seal. Theyve done a great job for us, but if your leak is elsehwere, and just pools in the same place, your mileage may vary.
Now to purchase these and put them on. I noticed leaking coming from my front passenger door. The floor mat would pool with water. Then when I took my mats out the carpet was wet. No wonder it has a slight smell inside right now.
@@SWBCrawler yeah I recently moved to a rainy state. So I’m just now noticing the water coming in. It was never noticed or a problem before because it hardly rained.
@@VictoriaG02 yea a lot of folks just accept it and move on. on the tj or older models i might do the same. but on the jk. there’s just no reason for leaks to be this common. good luck with it! so far ours has been holding up good with these new seals!
so far so good on ours! after i installed them i also cleaned out any crud that had built up on the door sill surface where the seal contacts the body. anything there that makes even the slightest gap will cause leaks as well.
sorry to hear that. we had issues too. but thoroughly cleaning any gunk or crud out of the area where the windshield and body connect fixed it for us. it could also be that maybe the seals took time to break in? because we’ve been leak free for a year or more.
Did it Fix the Leaking ? these New door seals..Amazon # you have is an AW at the end..link goes to one that has an AV at the end of the part number..Thanks
Dude I did the exact same thing you did same part numbers replaced them myself still had the problem I finally yesterday figured out where my water was coming in it's the upper windshield seal on the very ends I literally had to go out there with a garden hose and just soak it The water was coming through the plastic and down the dash onto the floor crazy I'm not sure if I'm going to buy a new seal for the windshield yet or just put some silicone in there. My wife and I have a 2017 Chief edition
Replaced both front door seals with updated parts and pushed my doors in for a tighter fit. Water is still finding it’s way to the the floor trim and polling water on the floor. I couldn’t find any part number for the foam behind the windshield cowl seal ends. The area with the button. I have some neoprene foam to cut up new a new piece but I’m trying to figure out what kind of foam oem uses for that area. The area behind the door seal in the front where it’s secured with plastic might be leaking because of a bad foam seal. But oem is expensive I also wonder what foam would be best to cut up.
This was a great video, the links worked for both seals, cost was around 300 for the pair. I had been looking for this, not a hack. I replaced them today, left the doors on the jeep, easy peasy! Rain ☔ this weekend to put them to the test. Now I just need to do the roof... Thanks for the straight forward video with minimal griping.
Thank you bud, by far better than any other video. As you mentioned, others had hacks on how to bandaid the issue, but not fix it. My daughter's jeep had literally inches of water after huge storms in south Florida last week.
This helped me stop the passenger door leak/somoni every time it rained on my 2012 Rubicon Wrangler! I greatly appreciate the help you have provided to all of us!!!
Kind of ridiculous the dealer did not know about the updated door seals. That is how out of touch Jeep dealers really are, they only want your money to sell Jeeps, not deal with parts to actually fix issues that should of really been recalled from the factory, but Jeep does not see this as a safety issue, so they could care less.
Hi Nate, found your video while searching ' stop Jeep leaks' and the modified seal seems the answer for wet feet ! I looked at Amazon for Mopar seals but they are always out of stock, so I looked at Amazon's equivalents section where I found some 'Tikscience' listed, they were cheap but the correct part number with the AW, when they arrived they did not have that extra 'ribbing' that you describe so have returned to Amazon (no problem). Can you confirm that the AW should be the modified type when I again order, this time for the Mopar make when available. Great video, thanks in advance, Mike B.
folks have had success with the links i include in the description of the video. are they listed as sold out? i can’t make any claims about the off brand ones
Yes, I understand that about off brand (made in China), but I just wanted to confirm that the 55395274/5 (AW code) relates to the Mopar seals with the "extra ribbing" you explain about in your great video, sorry to ask again, but I am in the UK and it rains A LOT !! thanks Mike B.
I had no idea these existed until I saw your video. I’ve dealt with my local dealer for a while now, only to not reach a resolution.. they couldn’t stop the leaks! And im talking about massive water leaks onto my floor. My on going issue has now been fixed with the new seals! I’ve tested them over several rainstorms these last couple weeks and I couldn’t be anymore happier! Appreciate you’re content!
Thanks! so glad to hear they helped you! Seems like some folks are getting mixed results. they did the trick for our jku as well! Thanks for watching!!
This is exactly what I needed. I read on the wrangler forums that replacement Mopar door seals were the way to go, but it was so hard finding a video that wasn't just some weird hack. Thank you!
This is exactly why I shared the video. The install is pretty simple, I almost didn't make a video on it, but when I ran into the same lack of info you did, i had to share. Thanks for watching!
@@jonathanbalanetsky7914 no, these are the front doors only. the rear doors don’t have this flaw. so you’d just have to look up the rear door seals. thanks for watching!
@@jonathanbalanetsky7914 we didn’t have any rear door issues. but i’ve heard the rear doors are commonly because of the seals in the top. do you have a hard top or soft top? the hard top could leak where the freedom panels meet the main part of the top. and the soft top has seals that are between the different pieces of the frame. check those.
Dude your not alone the jeep dealer ship here in wilpo pa is trash bought my jeep within a month of having charged me a grand for a combo of leaks and rear defrost and was all withing their “90 day” warranty and for real I’ve researched this and couldn’t find anything but I’m just not about to install a door seal and looked up how to install and seen this and you described the exact situation of how mine leaks and is a 2018 jk! Thanks bro!
i'm glad i could help!! I had the same issues (mentioned in the video), and got a heck of a run around from our dealer. this is why i do things myself! Hope the seals fix your problem!
Does this also correct the leak from the top rear corner. Is there information on why jeep isnt taking responsibility? There a lot of flaws in tires of paying out of pocket for like this. Perfect video btw man, just enough background and explanation. You’re actually the first jeep related tuber I subscribed to
Thanks for watching, and subscribing! Glad you found the video useful! as far as I know, these seals ONLY address the leak at the windshield/body tub joint. However, if your other leak is coming from a worn out door seal, it _may_ help. I just cant say it definitely will. Sometimes upper door leaks come from the seals in the soft top bracketry around the door, or the seals that the freedom panels use at the top of the door. We put a bestop trektop glide on this jeep a few years ago, and it replaced all of those seals, so we dont have any issues there.
Do you have part numbers/links for the rear door seals? I have a 2017 JKU and my leak comes from the rear doors. I want to replace them all now just to be safe. Thanks!
You're welcome! Just be sure that the leaks youre having are actually because of the seals before ordering the replacements. Thats a decent chunk of money for a fix that doesn't fix your actual issue. Also, these are front door seals only.
Im having this leaking issue on both of the front doors of my 2010 JKU. Can you please let me know what the part numbers are for the front driver's and front passenger's door seals? I didn't see them posted in your video.
07-17. 18 was a weird model year because both the Wrangler JK and the Wrangler JL were being sold. So if you have an 18 JK you dont always get included in these year-spans. I don't see any reason these wouldnt fit a 2018 JK. They will NOT fit a 2018 (or newer) JL.
So far so good on these! It's been a while now since we installed these, they definitely improved the situation. We do sometimes get water inside, but we can usually blame that on the soft top not being seated properly on the tracks above the doors. I definitely would buy these again if I had a JK leaking at that windshield frame seal. But these are specifically to fix -that- problem, if your leak is elsehwere, they may not help.
Just bought first Jeep. Its a 2001 Wrangler Sahara TJ and have run into this issue. Do you know if there are these new designs for this old of a vehicle?
the tj is an entirely different design. I don't know that they ever had redesigned seals (i also have an 05 tj). but with the age of these jeeps it might just be time to replace door and maybe top (if you have a soft top) seals. The tj is also more likely to leak in general. it's just an older design that's not as water tight as the jk and newer jeeps. That's not to say you should expect it to leak. mine is great no leaks at all. it's just that they're more prone to it.
I have that leak as well as one in the upper front door between the seal your replacing and the freedom top. Drips right above the door handle. But also have that leak and the driver carpet gets soaked.
Perfect. I didn't have the removal tool for the plastic clips, but since I'm removing the old seal, it didn't matter: I popped the seal off the clip, then used a pair of needle-nose pliers and a narrow probe to gently pry them out. Also, I ended up getting seals from ExtremeTerrain, and having handle the old and the new seals, the new ones felt significantly heavier.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Yea, I lucked out with this tool, it was my grandfathers and was here when I moved in! Im sure I could find one but it sure is nice when specialty tools fall into your lap. ;)
Is you jeep still dry? About to pull the trigger on these since both sides are leaking on my JKU. Mixed reviews on amazon, but pretty sure I have not choice at this point.
these have done the trick for me. they are meant to fix a very specific problem though. which i think is why even this video gets mixed reviews. these seals have extra ribs to channel water away from the problem area where that "button" cap is in the seal between the tub and the windshield. if that's not where your leak is or you've also got seal issues with the top or something else these won't help you. in our case we'd already replaced the top, so the seals there were all good. i knew that wasn't likely to be the problem. good luck!
I just replaced the driver front door seal on my wrangler and it’s kind of hard to close. Ive went over it 3 or 4 times to make sure everything is seated but it still difficult to close. Does it just take a while to break in?
@@DomBogey94 yeap... mopar genuine will get you every time. if you try one of the off brands and have success please let me know. i'll link them as a cheaper option. i agree. they aren't cheap. but they fixed the problem for me. Thanks for watching!
good luck with that. theoretically if you’re under warranty you might be able to. but jeep for whatever reason didn’t issue a recall. maybe because it’s not a safety issue?
@@low-keyobserver8539 it could be the seals in your top. These seals fix the leak that forms at the seam of the windshield hinge. but there are lots of other places that our jeeps can unfortunately leak. If you don't mind my asking. i've had a comment or two from folks who say they received the older seals without the extra channel built in. did yours come with the extra channels that i showed in the video?
My 2016 Jeep Sahara 4 dr. driver's side rear door leaks. It's already been replaced once by Jeep under warranty - just trying to figure out if I should go off brand and see if I have any better luck than Mopar. I've been very disappointed with my Jeep so far.......my hinges are rusting and it's kept in the garage, the leaky door and now my navigation system says "maps are locked." I bought my Jeep brand new so it's not like a bought someone else's problem.
these are official mopar seals. the problem is that many dealerships don’t know that there’s a new design so they just install the same old flawed seals. we had ours replaced by the dealer once as well. in the video i show how to tell if you’ve got the new seals. if they don’t have the little fins that redirect water, it might be worth a shot. these fix a specific problem though. if your doors are leaking somewhere other than right at the spot where the windshield and the body connect, these seals might not fix your problem.
Just replaced mine in a 2016 and this did not help. Doubled checked install and everything looked great but still leaking at bottom. Seems to be coming from midway up door. Hope it helps for others though. Seriously bummed. 30-50k$ for a vehicle that leaks so disappointing.
mine had minor leaks until i went and cleaned really well around that “button” on the seal at the base of the windshield. i had some crud that had built up there. once i cleaned that. we haven’t had any more leaks. these seals have worked wonderfully. I can’t say why they didn’t help you. other than that. i can’t say why they didn’t help you. I’m very sorry to hear it.
Anyone know if/when these improved seals were factory installed? I have a 2017 and don't know if it already has these, don't want spend $140+ per door if it's not going to help but I have a big puddle on the front passenger floorboard when it rains a lot.
I don't know if they were ever installed from the factory. Its possible that they were in later model JK's though. If you look at the ribbing thats on the seals in the video, yous should be able to tell if you have the new seals already or not The older seals had no ribbing at all where the seal contacts that rubber seal that is on the jeep where the windshield and body meet. The new seals have ribs. simple as that.
Depends on the dealer I'd think. There is no recall, as this isnt a safety thing. If you can convince them to replace them under warranty though.. Maybe.
Hi Nate, thank you for your video, I live in Western Australia, and the part numbers you have listed on amazon show that they are currently out of stock. Are you aware of any other suppliers that have these seals in stock? Thank you in advance mate.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I do not know of suppliers in australia. however the part numbers listed should be Jeep part numbers, and I would expect you'd be able to find them through a local dealer at the worst, or an online factory parts place at best.
I bought this a few weeks ago, and it does not work. Absolutely no improvement. Carefully installed on a Sunday, and it rained the next day. Floor was full of water. Waste of $120.00.
all depends where your leak is. it fixed ours. i did have some leak after installing but it turned out to be some stuff that had built up where the door seal meets the body near the same area that this addresses. i cleaned that out and it fixed it. but there are lots of other places these jeeps can leak. these door seals only address the spot right where the windshield and body meet like i explained in the video. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
Can you send me them part numbers again for the left and right door seals? Because you said they're not available on Amazon. And that link takes you to Amazon. I want to make sure I'm getting the right new seals.
they are available on amazon. the links in the description of the video should take you right to them. there are also part numbers in the video description. thanks for watching!
That could be the door seal or the top. if you have a soft top there are seals along the door frame for the soft top that can go bad. i do not know of a redesigned seal for the rear.
@@SWBCrawler I have the hardtop. But thank you for quick reply & this video. I work at a Bodyshop & they said ps front was installed correctly but your video showed me that the dealer installed the orig seal not the part you provided so I’m getting that now from our dealer supplier(so I’ll get it for cost). Tyx1000
The link for Amazon shows me a weather stripping without the extra channeling that your new seal has. Maybe it’s an old pic. I’ll order it anyways and return if it’s the old design. Thanks for the video.
yes. i had to update the links because the original ones i bought were sold out. the part numbers match but the picture doesn’t look like it has the added channels. if you receive them without the extra channels, return them. and let me know so i can try to find an updated seller.
When I search those part numbers amazon gives me a choice of seals made by Fomiuzi. They are considerably cheaper, but do I need to get the Mopar ones?
Yep, just try ot to jank up the bottom of your door doing it. I usually grab it however I can, and rock it back and forth as I lift up. Its always done the trick for me. Even had one of the rear doors about seized on there and I was able to get it off.
I dont know for certain, but if you look at the seal, near the place where the seal contacts the body/windshield, at the windshield seam, there will be two ribs in the seal if its the new seal. If you watch the video. I point out the ribs you're looking for when im explaining the difference between the old seal and the new one.
That may be a leak in the freedom panel seals. Or if the freedom panels arent seated right, or the toggles arent tight. Those things are a nightmare for leaks IMO. Only Jeep could make a hard top that leaks worse than a soft top!
@@SWBCrawler yeah probably count on barely 2 hands the times I have removed them. Very rarely. My guess is time and exposure. Until last week the freedom panels have never leaked. Door leaks ....more than a few years. But now that I know the gaskets were redesigned....need to save up for a new pair.
Driver door install went great but water is still finding its way in, right around the dash area. Passenger door has the old seal but it's working fine. Starting to wonder if the driver door is just not aligned properly.
This redesigned seal is to fix a factory defect in the original seal where the windshield and the body meet. the leak your describing might be from above the door. either from the door seal or maybe the top. the new door seal could fix your problem. but it also might not.
I have B pillar leaks that get the rear floor wet and gets behind the seat belt enclosure and wets the seatbelt when it rains was gonna rubber weather stripping around all 4 doors but this looks like the answer ??
These are specfically for the front doors. If you have a soft top, i'd check into a replacement seal kit for the soft top door channels. The factory soft top has, iirc, foam or rubber seals that make the door surrounds water tight, and those go bad over time.
I took my Jeep to the dealer when it first leaked and they also didn't have an answer. They just told me to tighten the roof panels. Every winter the Jeep smells a bit moldy. I thought it was just my Jeep. Thanks for sharing, now I know it can be fixed.
@@SWBCrawler Awesome man! Thanks for the reply. I was about to purchase them and I saw that FairChild does the same (to replace same MOPAR part numbers), generics I would say. Or perhaps FairChild is the OEM supplier, who know. What I don't have a way to confirm is if these FairChild's are the "new/updated" version... Cuz the price is a lot more attractive on the FairChilds. They are available at Rockauto. What do you think?
I do not know if it was ever used from factory. I can say our 2014 did not have the new design. and i've heard from folks all the way up to the 2018 model that don't have them.
@SWBCrawler poor design..thats all....manufacturer should do a better job on how those 3 pieces joins to have no leack a buddy of mine owns a car wash he said all wranglers are wet down there ....cheers (you tried) thanks
@@seaguy7006 yea. very common leak. they did fix the issue on our wrangler. the seals did. not the dealer. they’re useless. it could be you have a slightly different leak and that’s why these didn’t help. look through the comments here and you’ll see there’s quite a few folks that it didn’t help. and quite a few it did. what’s the difference? no idea.
What year is your Jeep and what year did Jeep fix this issue? I have an 11 that drips in pretty badly from the top forward corners of the doors. Not sure it's this seal or not but worth trying.
@@theredderbaron No problem at all! Learking at the top of the door though. You may want to check the seals on your top first. Soft top, or hard top with the freedom panels, there's a seal at the front top corner of the door. That may be your issue.
@SWBCrawler yea I wish I had a way to send you a photo of it. Drips in bad during rains and gets the inside of the door wet and down on the floor beneath it. Terrible when actually opening the door during rain, just pours in.
@@theredderbaron Did you happen to use these seals? I have the problem you are having. If its raining and I turn left the passenger gets a bath. Thanks in advance
Yep! And several folks have commented here saying it helped their problem as well. you need to be sure that you’re fixing the right leak though. These seals are specifically redesigned to fix the leak that comes in near the windshield seam, and travels down the door and makes puddle at the driver and passenger footwell. of course if your door seals are worn out anyway. replacing them is always a good idea.
Those plastic bags man, i feel ya. :P Thanks for watching! I hope the seals work as well for you as they have for us! Theyve been perfect! no more leaks!
@@robkember2931 A few possibilities, and I'm not a Pro at all things door leaks or anything, but in my own searching I read that the upper corner could be from the door being out of adjustment (you can loosen up the hinges to adjust it, I haven't done it though) or from the seals in the soft or hard top. there is a seal up there that is part of the top, look into replacing those.
I think I was like #1,000! Thanks for showing me how to do it. I got the seals delivered yesterday and wanted to watch someone else do it first so I didn't mess anything up.
I realize now I glanced at your site last week while looking for info on the door seals for my wife. Gonna visit the site more often!

Dude your not alone the jeep dealer ship here in wilpo pa is trash bought my jeep within a month of having charged me a grand for a combo of leaks and rear defrost and was all withing their “90 day” warranty and for real I’ve researched this and couldn’t find anything but I’m just not about to install a door seal and looked up how to install and seen this and you described the exact situation of how mine leaks and is a 2018 jk! Thanks bro!
i'm glad i could help!! I had the same issues (mentioned in the video), and got a heck of a run around from our dealer. this is why i do things myself! Hope the seals fix your problem!
Does this also correct the leak from the top rear corner. Is there information on why jeep isnt taking responsibility? There a lot of flaws in tires of paying out of pocket for like this. Perfect video btw man, just enough background and explanation. You’re actually the first jeep related tuber I subscribed to
Thanks for watching, and subscribing! Glad you found the video useful! as far as I know, these seals ONLY address the leak at the windshield/body tub joint. However, if your other leak is coming from a worn out door seal, it _may_ help. I just cant say it definitely will. Sometimes upper door leaks come from the seals in the soft top bracketry around the door, or the seals that the freedom panels use at the top of the door. We put a bestop trektop glide on this jeep a few years ago, and it replaced all of those seals, so we dont have any issues there.
Do you have part numbers/links for the rear door seals? I have a 2017 JKU and my leak comes from the rear doors. I want to replace them all now just to be safe. Thanks!
i didn’t do the rears so no, i don’t have the part numbers. sorry. i bet a google search can turn them up tough.
Where is the update video? Thanks for posting
the comments here serve as an update. For us the seals did the trick. no more leaks! others seem to be having mixed success. thanks for watching!
Im ordering these ASAP both my passenger front and rear doors have leak issues. Tha ks for the well edited and informing vid!
You're welcome! Just be sure that the leaks youre having are actually because of the seals before ordering the replacements. Thats a decent chunk of money for a fix that doesn't fix your actual issue. Also, these are front door seals only.
Can I use these seals on a Sahara Unlimited 2015?
Leaking since then! :(
I need help.
Thank you.
yes these should work on any jk or jku
First time finding you. This was great inspiration. Oh I used Windex to help get the seal in the grove.
thanks for the comment! i'm glad you found the video helpful!
I can't find the part # to the updated seal...
Im having this leaking issue on both of the front doors of my 2010 JKU. Can you please let me know what the part numbers are for the front driver's and front passenger's door seals? I didn't see them posted in your video.
They are in the description of the video, as well as amazon links.
On the part number it says 01-17 anything on a 2018? That’s what mine is I commented before but it leaks in the same spot
07-17. 18 was a weird model year because both the Wrangler JK and the Wrangler JL were being sold. So if you have an 18 JK you dont always get included in these year-spans. I don't see any reason these wouldnt fit a 2018 JK. They will NOT fit a 2018 (or newer) JL.
I have tried a bunch of the tricks on my 2016 jk. Would you ever do an update on these seals?
So far so good on these! It's been a while now since we installed these, they definitely improved the situation. We do sometimes get water inside, but we can usually blame that on the soft top not being seated properly on the tracks above the doors. I definitely would buy these again if I had a JK leaking at that windshield frame seal. But these are specifically to fix -that- problem, if your leak is elsehwere, they may not help.
Just bought first Jeep. Its a 2001 Wrangler Sahara TJ and have run into this issue. Do you know if there are these new designs for this old of a vehicle?
the tj is an entirely different design. I don't know that they ever had redesigned seals (i also have an 05 tj). but with the age of these jeeps it might just be time to replace door and maybe top (if you have a soft top) seals. The tj is also more likely to leak in general. it's just an older design that's not as water tight as the jk and newer jeeps. That's not to say you should expect it to leak. mine is great no leaks at all. it's just that they're more prone to it.
I have that leak as well as one in the upper front door between the seal your replacing and the freedom top. Drips right above the door handle. But also have that leak and the driver carpet gets soaked.
Perfect. I didn't have the removal tool for the plastic clips, but since I'm removing the old seal, it didn't matter: I popped the seal off the clip, then used a pair of needle-nose pliers and a narrow probe to gently pry them out. Also, I ended up getting seals from ExtremeTerrain, and having handle the old and the new seals, the new ones felt significantly heavier.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Yea, I lucked out with this tool, it was my grandfathers and was here when I moved in! Im sure I could find one but it sure is nice when specialty tools fall into your lap. ;)
I didn't see the part numbers?
they’re in the description of the video, along with links.
Is you jeep still dry? About to pull the trigger on these since both sides are leaking on my JKU. Mixed reviews on amazon, but pretty sure I have not choice at this point.
these have done the trick for me. they are meant to fix a very specific problem though. which i think is why even this video gets mixed reviews. these seals have extra ribs to channel water away from the problem area where that "button" cap is in the seal between the tub and the windshield. if that's not where your leak is or you've also got seal issues with the top or something else these won't help you. in our case we'd already replaced the top, so the seals there were all good. i knew that wasn't likely to be the problem.
good luck!
I just replaced the driver front door seal on my wrangler and it’s kind of hard to close. Ive went over it 3 or 4 times to make sure everything is seated but it still difficult to close. Does it just take a while to break in?
Just ordered them from Amazon. Hopefully this will fix the leaks on my 2015 JKU that are exactly as you describe. Thanks for the video.
that’s why i make these things! i hope they help you! so far so good on our jku!
Did it help? It didn't for mine
Hey @stacarter. Will you share the Amazon link you used to order? I’m having trouble determining if what I’m seeing online is the new or old design.
@@garyk66channelsame here
Man those are so expensive compared to other door seals. 3x the price in some instances.
@@DomBogey94 yeap... mopar genuine will get you every time. if you try one of the off brands and have success please let me know. i'll link them as a cheaper option. i agree. they aren't cheap. but they fixed the problem for me. Thanks for watching!
I have a JKU. Do they have newly designed ones for the rear doors too?
i do not believe so, as the rear doors didn’t have the same flaw.
If this is a known issue with a redesigned part, shouldn't these new seals be free? If they are, how do I get a free set?
good luck with that. theoretically if you’re under warranty you might be able to. but jeep for whatever reason didn’t issue a recall. maybe because it’s not a safety issue?
The new seals worked upper coner. I still have issues with the back corner. Drips on me when I make turns. No idea what to do.
@@low-keyobserver8539 it could be the seals in your top. These seals fix the leak that forms at the seam of the windshield hinge. but there are lots of other places that our jeeps can unfortunately leak.
If you don't mind my asking. i've had a comment or two from folks who say they received the older seals without the extra channel built in. did yours come with the extra channels that i showed in the video?
@@SWBCrawler they did come with the new channel. I got them from the dealer and physically checked them before buying.
Do you have the part numbers I enjoyed your video but missed the part numbers you said wouldshow up
Thanks for the video
Great vid, had no idea about the new seal design. Thank you.
glad you found the video helpful! and thanks for watching!
My 2016 Jeep Sahara 4 dr. driver's side rear door leaks. It's already been replaced once by Jeep under warranty - just trying to figure out if I should go off brand and see if I have any better luck than Mopar. I've been very disappointed with my Jeep so far.......my hinges are rusting and it's kept in the garage, the leaky door and now my navigation system says "maps are locked." I bought my Jeep brand new so it's not like a bought someone else's problem.
these are official mopar seals. the problem is that many dealerships don’t know that there’s a new design so they just install the same old flawed seals. we had ours replaced by the dealer once as well. in the video i show how to tell if you’ve got the new seals. if they don’t have the little fins that redirect water, it might be worth a shot. these fix a specific problem though. if your doors are leaking somewhere other than right at the spot where the windshield and the body connect, these seals might not fix your problem.
Just replaced mine in a 2016 and this did not help. Doubled checked install and everything looked great but still leaking at bottom. Seems to be coming from midway up door. Hope it helps for others though. Seriously bummed. 30-50k$ for a vehicle that leaks so disappointing.
mine had minor leaks until i went and cleaned really well around that “button” on the seal at the base of the windshield. i had some crud that had built up there. once i cleaned that. we haven’t had any more leaks. these seals have worked wonderfully. I can’t say why they didn’t help you. other than that. i can’t say why they didn’t help you. I’m very sorry to hear it.
@@SWBCrawlerthanks for the reply I will double check that area. I did wipe down the entire door and clean up everything before installing. No worries.
@@Markoose86 good luck! i hope it works out. i know how frustrating this is.
What Year model Jeeps are affected by this. I have a 2015 JK with leeway issues...
07 to 18 jk i believe. just be sure this is the leak you’re trying to fix. otherwise it may not help you.
Anyone know if/when these improved seals were factory installed? I have a 2017 and don't know if it already has these, don't want spend $140+ per door if it's not going to help but I have a big puddle on the front passenger floorboard when it rains a lot.
I don't know if they were ever installed from the factory. Its possible that they were in later model JK's though. If you look at the ribbing thats on the seals in the video, yous should be able to tell if you have the new seals already or not The older seals had no ribbing at all where the seal contacts that rubber seal that is on the jeep where the windshield and body meet. The new seals have ribs. simple as that.
Fantastic 1st Google search vid; does the dealer.. will they COVER this flaw under some recall/type of warranty? or should I not even bother lol
Depends on the dealer I'd think. There is no recall, as this isnt a safety thing. If you can convince them to replace them under warranty though.. Maybe.
Hi Nate, thank you for your video, I live in Western Australia, and the part numbers you have listed on amazon show that they are currently out of stock. Are you aware of any other suppliers that have these seals in stock? Thank you in advance mate.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I do not know of suppliers in australia. however the part numbers listed should be Jeep part numbers, and I would expect you'd be able to find them through a local dealer at the worst, or an online factory parts place at best.
I bought this a few weeks ago, and it does not work. Absolutely no improvement. Carefully installed on a Sunday, and it rained the next day. Floor was full of water. Waste of $120.00.
all depends where your leak is. it fixed ours. i did have some leak after installing but it turned out to be some stuff that had built up where the door seal meets the body near the same area that this addresses. i cleaned that out and it fixed it. but there are lots of other places these jeeps can leak. these door seals only address the spot right where the windshield and body meet like i explained in the video. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
Can you send me them part numbers again for the left and right door seals? Because you said they're not available on Amazon. And that link takes you to Amazon. I want to make sure I'm getting the right new seals.
they are available on amazon. the links in the description of the video should take you right to them. there are also part numbers in the video description. thanks for watching!
@@SWBCrawler Is there a certain brand that I need to look for
@@waynemartin1965 the links in the description should take you right to what you need to buy. don't they?
@@SWBCrawler Trying to make sure because I'm gonna have the dealer order them.And I want to make sure they are the right ones
Awesome video and great content. I will be ordering these for mine as I have the same issue.
great! i hope they help you! they seem to be doing the trick on ours!
Does any1 have leak from back d/s door? Does Mopar have an upgraded gasket for that too? Ty for video
That could be the door seal or the top. if you have a soft top there are seals along the door frame for the soft top that can go bad. i do not know of a redesigned seal for the rear.
@@SWBCrawler I have the hardtop. But thank you for quick reply & this video. I work at a Bodyshop & they said ps front was installed correctly but your video showed me that the dealer installed the orig seal not the part you provided so I’m getting that now from our dealer supplier(so I’ll get it for cost). Tyx1000
The link for Amazon shows me a weather stripping without the extra channeling that your new seal has. Maybe it’s an old pic. I’ll order it anyways and return if it’s the old design. Thanks for the video.
yes. i had to update the links because the original ones i bought were sold out. the part numbers match but the picture doesn’t look like it has the added channels. if you receive them without the extra channels, return them. and let me know so i can try to find an updated seller.
Jeep should issue recall for replacement.We pay good money for these vehicles and the company should be responsible.
A lot of people agree on that. But it’s not a safety issue. So no recall
When I search those part numbers amazon gives me a choice of seals made by Fomiuzi. They are considerably cheaper, but do I need to get the Mopar ones?
Inquiring mind’s need to know‼️
If your door is stuck when trying to take it off, grab a jack and a block of wood and gently jack the door upward.
Yep, just try ot to jank up the bottom of your door doing it. I usually grab it however I can, and rock it back and forth as I lift up. Its always done the trick for me. Even had one of the rear doors about seized on there and I was able to get it off.
Had no idea these existed. Cannot find part number. Need to replace in my ‘18 JKU
hey thanks for watching! The part numbers are in the video description with amazon links.
I have a 2017 JKU. Do you know if they installed the new re-designed seal on the 2017 or was the new seal available after the 2017 year model?
Thanks.
I dont know for certain, but if you look at the seal, near the place where the seal contacts the body/windshield, at the windshield seam, there will be two ribs in the seal if its the new seal. If you watch the video. I point out the ribs you're looking for when im explaining the difference between the old seal and the new one.
With the recent rain in SoCal I also developed a leak right above the rear view mirror. Drips out of my OG SPod switch panel.
That may be a leak in the freedom panel seals. Or if the freedom panels arent seated right, or the toggles arent tight. Those things are a nightmare for leaks IMO. Only Jeep could make a hard top that leaks worse than a soft top!
@@SWBCrawler yeah probably count on barely 2 hands the times I have removed them. Very rarely. My guess is time and exposure. Until last week the freedom panels have never leaked. Door leaks ....more than a few years. But now that I know the gaskets were redesigned....need to save up for a new pair.
Driver door install went great but water is still finding its way in, right around the dash area. Passenger door has the old seal but it's working fine. Starting to wonder if the driver door is just not aligned properly.
this is possible. i’m not an expert on realigning the doors but they should be tight to close.
On your passenger door, where you getting drops onto the door opening lever, and has this new seal stopped that? Thanks
This redesigned seal is to fix a factory defect in the original seal where the windshield and the body meet. the leak your describing might be from above the door. either from the door seal or maybe the top. the new door seal could fix your problem. but it also might not.
I have B pillar leaks that get the rear floor wet and gets behind the seat belt enclosure and wets the seatbelt when it rains was gonna rubber weather stripping around all 4 doors but this looks like the answer ??
These are specfically for the front doors. If you have a soft top, i'd check into a replacement seal kit for the soft top door channels. The factory soft top has, iirc, foam or rubber seals that make the door surrounds water tight, and those go bad over time.
After the install did the leak stop?
Sorry, I thought I'd replied to you. Yes! No more leaks!
I took my Jeep to the dealer when it first leaked and they also didn't have an answer. They just told me to tighten the roof panels. Every winter the Jeep smells a bit moldy. I thought it was just my Jeep. Thanks for sharing, now I know it can be fixed.
the panels can absolutely leak. but that’ll be from the roof near the twist knobs. this will specifically come in at the footwell. glad to help!
I can’t find the part to order please help
there are links and part numbers in the description of the video. you should be able to find them there
OMG THANK YOU
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! best of luck with your leaks!
I don’t see the part numbers? Where are they? Thank you.
They are in the description of the video, along with amazon links if youd like to use them.
Jeep should be forced to fix this for free.
right? it’s a pretty glaring problem.
These new door seals really exist!??! Niiice!!!
Yep! and after several months now, i can say they helped! No more leaks!
@@SWBCrawler Awesome man! Thanks for the reply. I was about to purchase them and I saw that FairChild does the same (to replace same MOPAR part numbers), generics I would say. Or perhaps FairChild is the OEM supplier, who know. What I don't have a way to confirm is if these FairChild's are the "new/updated" version... Cuz the price is a lot more attractive on the FairChilds. They are available at Rockauto. What do you think?
Where is the link for the part’s number or place’s that sell these seals?
should be in the description of the video. are they not working?
What year was the redesign used from factory?
I do not know if it was ever used from factory. I can say our 2014 did not have the new design. and i've heard from folks all the way up to the 2018 model that don't have them.
Replaced with this new redesigned thingy....guess what ...leack never stopped.. lol so o returned both of em
sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. glad to hear you were able to return them! thanks for watching!
@SWBCrawler poor design..thats all....manufacturer should do a better job on how those 3 pieces joins to have no leack a buddy of mine owns a car wash he said all wranglers are wet down there ....cheers (you tried) thanks
@@seaguy7006 yea. very common leak. they did fix the issue on our wrangler. the seals did. not the dealer. they’re useless. it could be you have a slightly different leak and that’s why these didn’t help. look through the comments here and you’ll see there’s quite a few folks that it didn’t help. and quite a few it did. what’s the difference? no idea.
Have that issue would definitely check this out thanks for sharing
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Bro you are the best. thanks for the info got the new weatherstripping works perfectly
Thanks! i’m glad the video helped! thanks for watching!
Are these still working for you?
Yes! they're working out great!
@@SWBCrawler thank you. I just ordered them and going to try them.
@@bradburrick awesome! i hope you have as much luck with them as i have.
@@SWBCrawlerafter installing yours did the doors look to push out more from looking at them from the outside? They aren’t flush with the body now.
@@bradburrick the door could be tighter to close. so it might take more force to get it fully closed. the seals to break in after some time
What year is your Jeep and what year did Jeep fix this issue? I have an 11 that drips in pretty badly from the top forward corners of the doors. Not sure it's this seal or not but worth trying.
this one’s a 2014. but the part is listed as 2007 through 18
@SWBCrawler cool man, thanks for the response.
@@theredderbaron No problem at all! Learking at the top of the door though. You may want to check the seals on your top first. Soft top, or hard top with the freedom panels, there's a seal at the front top corner of the door. That may be your issue.
@SWBCrawler yea I wish I had a way to send you a photo of it. Drips in bad during rains and gets the inside of the door wet and down on the floor beneath it.
Terrible when actually opening the door during rain, just pours in.
@@theredderbaron Did you happen to use these seals? I have the problem you are having. If its raining and I turn left the passenger gets a bath. Thanks in advance
What is the verdict with the new seals?
They seem to be holding up!
Did the seals work?
Yep! And several folks have commented here saying it helped their problem as well. you need to be sure that you’re fixing the right leak though. These seals are specifically redesigned to fix the leak that comes in near the windshield seam, and travels down the door and makes puddle at the driver and passenger footwell.
of course if your door seals are worn out anyway. replacing them is always a good idea.
Really appreciate this post, ordered the seals and a new knife. I’d been struggling with opening plastic bags, not anymore!
Those plastic bags man, i feel ya. :P Thanks for watching! I hope the seals work as well for you as they have for us! Theyve been perfect! no more leaks!
comment for the comment god! :D

@@SWBCrawler my doors are leaking at front top corner, any advice. ive changed the seals, and did a couple other hacks, but to no avail
@@robkember2931 A few possibilities, and I'm not a Pro at all things door leaks or anything, but in my own searching I read that the upper corner could be from the door being out of adjustment (you can loosen up the hinges to adjust it, I haven't done it though) or from the seals in the soft or hard top. there is a seal up there that is part of the top, look into replacing those.
Will this work for the early JK with the 3.8L?
i believe so. but i do not have an older jk to compare to. Mopar may have an application guide you can check.
Yes, I just ordered one and the Mopar site shows the part fits my 2008.
