I have the same exact issue on my new JLU with 260 miles on it. My 2015 JKU did not have this problem. I hope the engineers are working on a quick fix because this is very annoying.
I totally agree, every time it rains and I open my drivers door I get a stream of continuous water in my lap!

There may be some quick fixes that may help some.

Hardtop has the same running off the top too, if it misses me it soaks the carpet! Can't win!

"it's a Jeep thing" does not cut it anymore, especially at these prices!

Go Jeep!!!

"Ahmed": Is the first photo (circled in yellow) a TruckMasterDesigns JK gutter extension?

I have a feeling that we will most likely be looking at a $20 aftermarket fix for this at some point, rather than waiting for Jeep to do anything about it.

Yes that's right,
The same idea for making something to take water out "temporary solution"

waiting for the next rain to test a simple fix I came up with today. I’ll post after the next rain or maybe after this weekend if I test it with the water hose

I’m disappointed that this obvious design flaw made it through all the testing. I mean they test these out with many different engineers and designers , corporate executives and basic workers in many different climates people get preproduction test models all the time to drive them home it rains how did nobody notice this ? Seems very odd and somewhat scary.
