It's early but my 2023 Mojave with black hardtop has no leaks so far. 🤞
Hopefully they fixed the issue in later production!:)
My Gladiator is an early 2021 Rubicon -- just discovered the leak so it looks to have been leaking for a while (but who knows exactly when it started). Likewise to your situation -- everything you describe is about 100% what I could say -- the local Jeep dealer said it was leaking in the same 3 places (when they did a "leak test"). They get their glass work done at a local (but large/experience and decently customer-rated) auto-glass shop, so if they get me a new back window, it'll be done at that shop. I called that shop and talked to the manager, and he said this "Jeep thing" is common, and they've replaced the rear glass on Gladiators before...and they've had NONE of those replacements come back because they were leaking again -- which is reassuring, since my 36-month OEM factory warrant expires mid-April 2024.
At lease it's "on paper" now as a warranty item in case I have this same issue after the warranty expires.
Have not heard of any progress yet (took it in to Jeep Service just before the Thanksgiving holiday) but I guess "we" (my Service Advisor, the lovely "Elizabeth") are waiting for Jeep to authorize it and say how to fix it: New glass or not I suppose. If I don't hear back re: any progress on that in the next few days, will call and find out what's up.
I don't think it's the glass itself (of course) but how the mounting/sealing of it was designed -- i.e., a serious design flaw.
If they try to remove my original glass (and it doesn't break) and put it back in, I will know that (a mark is on the original they won't notice but *I* will -- took a pic of the mark "for my records" before I took it in to them). They don't have the truck now, I do, so I guess I'll get a call to make an app't with the glass shop vs. taking it back to Jeep Service and being w/o the truck for who knows how long. I hope.

Thanks for the comment
A note after the replacement of the glass no leaks have occurred. :)
@@SteverGarage Maybe the glass shops do the install differently than the factory does? Whatever, I hope if MY glass is replaced it never leaks again. Otherwise, my Gladiator has been fine with only one other minor issue.

My front Fox shocks are being replaced under warranty, terrible creaking sound. Not impressed
Oh no…
Does it only do it in wet weather or all the time??
:(
@@SteverGarage its a creaking at low speeds constantly. Dealer said this isn't the first case they've seen. About a 8000 dollar job which was shocking. Chinese made on back order
“Shocking” hahahha
Funny ours squeezes a lot In The rain sounds like it’s coming from all the bushings.
Defects and recalls are never fun.
Which trim? Rubicon or Mojave?
Item 1)
Title is jacked. Not per spec
Hahaha
Got me xD
I had a leak in my 2021 gladiator in the same spots I currently own a 22 model and no leaks yet
Seems to be a common issue. :/
First issue with your Jeep Gladiator was letting her drive it🤣🤣
It’s her jeep 😎
