    Its been raining here a lot in coastal NC. When it is raining and I open the door to get in my Jeep, the channel above the door funnels the water into the floor board and it pours on my legs as I get in. Anyone else have this problem? Suggested fixes?

    You could try some weather stripping that is available at a local hardware store.

    Since it’s a new JL see if the dealer has any suggestions for the channel holding water. Don’t have a soft top to compare but I guess it’s good that you haven’t mentioned about water leaks inside the Jeep.

    Yeah no water leaks when the doors are closed. Although I don't suggest going through a carwash with a soft top. I was mostly wondering if anyone else had the same problem.
