I’m totally going to try this with my softtop. What a great idea to use the heater to find the leaks. thank you for the video demonstration and commentary
Thank you for the information. I tried that a while ago and it worked for a couple of months. I can assure you that this it will only work for a while. I think the best will be to sell my Jeep and get a better car.
Thanks SO much for this helpful video and awesome tips!!! My Jeep has also been leaking in SAME places since I bought it, and I’ve even put off getting carpet/mats bc of leaks. I’m gonna try this!!! Bridges, in FL✌️✌️✌️
Hello from Vancouver Washington!! My jeep is also a 2014. Just spent $2500 letting the dealership replace rubber gaskets between the hardtop and body. After washing the outside of it by hand I found driver side wet rug underneath rubber mat. Thanks a bunch for the helpful tips !!!
Ugh... just went exactly through the same cost at the dealer also with a 2014. They changed the rubber and foam seals of the hard top but to there was little to no improvement. I'll folow mike's tip.
Nicely done sir. My wife just got a 2018 JK 4dr Altitude and the leaks REALLY PISS US OFF. Hers is mostly a problem with the back doors/floor but there is some in the front. I cannot fathom why Jeep doesn't properly install gasket seals.
If you have the oem gaskets, you might consider replacing them. The new part number includes a fin that was added at the middle of the front door by the mirror. They are about $125 each side but seem to help more so than these gimmicks on line
Excellent diagnosis. Not knocking your ingenuity ...but That foam is ment to stop air drafts, it'll eventually breakdown and need replacing. There is products for this but its sold in big rolls for custom motor vehicles...campers, trucks, classic cars. Great idea either way!
I can tell you exactly where it was leaking out of one of those three places it's the upper top left and right hand corner closer to your windshield that's where it's prone to leak at I fixed many of these on customers Jeeps just like that
I have been testing a 2022 keep wrangler for 3 day & I love it but this might be a deal breaker for me 😒 for the price point and as long as this vehicle has been manufactured you would think this would not be an issue!
I rigged my garden hose to spray over the top of my jeep as it would when it’s raining and then I sat inside the jeep. After about a minute I started to see where the leaks were coming from.
Hello Mike I have an 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited JK sahara v6 3.6 automatic ●|||||||● GECKO PREARL green And yes it leaks on Driver side Had 2" of water Is there a soft fome one can spray on the Defected seals on the jeeps ? Jeep Corp should fix this problem " but " [ thanks] For the idea with the sope 👍 Here's a jeep wave 🖐✌
I just bought a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel. The rain is getting in the front and rear floors. I looked at many videos and the design flaw is that these Jeeps don't have a rubber gasket on the body panels, only on the doors. Also, the roof rain gutters end at the front of the rear and front doors. When it rains, the water falls into the crack at the top of the doors and it ends up on the inside. One owner used about a 1" wide one sided adhesive similar to yours on the middle black plastic areas on the body. He said it lasts about 6 months. I live in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. It rains almost as much as Vancouver here. This is a design flaw with the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator as they have removable roof panels and roofs. I paid over $93,000.00 Canadian for this. My Jeep sits outside 24/7 and this is not acceptable! I have an appointment at Willowbrook Motors on Wednesday. I wondered why there are so many 2020 Jeep Gladiators for sale if they are so great. Now I know.
hey mike get this fkn carpet off your jeep men your floor s gone rust faster with this junk and put the real rubber floor mat rugg ridge or others here in quebec we got a summer off shit sooo my 2 wrangler run with no carpet in only the rubber mat my 2013 never get a water drip in it and my wife 2015 jeep drips like a cow each side off winshield and faal down by the back of plastic moulder soo watch this spot 2 spot i like your shampoo spray il use it on my wyfe one next week end let 2 days to get top off and return on water hose over and repeat 3 times and always a spot were it go in tx men
There’s so many videos about Jeep’s leaking and none ever show where/how to find the leak locations. This is amazing, thank you so much man
My hat's off do you sir You're the first person I ever seen do a pressure test what a great idea!!
Ahhh I’ve just joined the club of “my jeep is leaking”
Will give it a try on this.
Cheers from Australia
Jeep wave ✌🏻from. Dallas TX
Fun fact but humans can't tell if things are wet using their touch. You can only feel that it is cold.
Great video! I'll try fix my Jeeps leak now
Genius on the soapy bubbles!!!
I’m totally going to try this with my softtop. What a great idea to use the heater to find the leaks. thank you for the video demonstration and commentary
Im a New New Jeep owner, and was About to return my baby. Thanks for the advice

Thank you I have tried every which way to fix this and now I am very very happy
Very good , you were very clear , thanks from Firenze Italy

This is such a great video! My jeep has damp seats indefinitely, with the windows up all the time. I’m going to do the soapy water diagnosis.
Great advice.
I also keep my Rosary wrapped around that handle haha
Genius diagnostic method....Thanks!
You are a genius with the soapy water

Amazing that anyone would fall for this
@@trashmike7642 It’s already embarrassing but thanks for rubbing it in Mike

I have the save exact model and it pisses me off that jeep does a piss poor job like you said, properly insulating it.
Dude great troubleshooting. Thank you for the help.
Excellent diagnosis.
Not knocking your ingenuity ...but
That foam is ment to stop air drafts, it'll eventually breakdown and need replacing.
There is products for this but its sold in big rolls for custom motor vehicles...campers, trucks, classic cars.
Great idea either way!
Home Depot sells D profile rubber seals with adhesive backing. Perfect for this.
Won't the foam get in the way of removing the freedom tops?
Im waiting for tomorrow to do this, thanks for the tip
Thank you! I am kinda embarrassed I didn't think of this myself....
I like the soap test. Would have liked to have seen a retest after the foam was applied.
After decades making the Jeep ..You would think it would be leak proof !!
I can tell you exactly where it was leaking out of one of those three places it's the upper top left and right hand corner closer to your windshield that's where it's prone to leak at I fixed many of these on customers Jeeps just like that
How did you fix it?

Ok that was a good idea, but don’t the foam absorb the water and makes it’s thin?
Thank you! 👍👍👍
Decent work mate 👍
Wow man you save me the day. Thanks!

Bruh u are a dam genius. Thanks dor this video. 😊
Hello Mike
I have an 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited JK sahara v6 3.6 automatic ●|||||||●
GECKO PREARL green
And yes it leaks on Driver side
Had 2" of water
Is there a soft fome one can spray on the Defected seals on the jeeps ?
Jeep Corp should fix this problem " but " [ thanks]
For the idea with the sope 👍
Here's a jeep wave 🖐✌
Gracias, amigo.
Great job man
Are you able to take the hard top off without the climaloc being affected???
Doesn't this change block you taking off the freedom panels though?
Spotted on Lougheed highway
GAME CHANGER WITH THE BUBBLES
And the very next day… leaks again. That’s been my experience😂
Best video on youtube
shit, that soapy water trick is amazing!
What steamer do you use?

I took my Jeep in to Willowbrook Chrysler twice to have this leak fixed and they couldn't fix it. Just a heads up.
Are you out of vancouver wa
How about the freedom tops back
this is great thanks
why didn't you do the soap test on your repair? That would have told the story. Great video. You did a great job.
What grade do teachers tell you the word is acrosst instead of across?
❤
Great hack
You rule cuz it is a great day
Not working on ny JKu I have No idea how to fix it….
where could I buy the Climaloc Plus? btw great video and nice jeep
Frost King Rubber Weatherseal Tape also works.
You can find it on Amazon.
@@gargamel55 did you use the 1” or 1/2”
I read that NAPA also sells RV tape similar to that tape.
I have the same
Issue with my Jk
Come to nc to fix mine 😭😭😭😭
Foam doesn't work has to be rubber😊
You must be a gas fitter. That's how they check for leaks.
