Any recommendations for door seals for a 2022 wrangler 392. It’s winter and would like to seal up as many air leaks as possible.
I would like an air tight door if possible on a jl body style I installed a fine strip from Amazon like I have seen in some videos but seams worse. Are there any better seals besides oem.

Are you feeling a draft though the doors?

I’ve had good luck just applying Shinetsu grease on the factory seals. Caveat is, it may attract more dirt and grime.

Yes seams like way too much air coming in
I may try that, been hoping there’s a great aftermarket

i blocked off rear tailgate and kept fan on high and sprayed soapy water all over door seals and skyline top. seams like most of air loss is skyline top not the door seals.
i am testing this out. i blocked off about 80% of the opening in the tailgate for air exhaust.
unplugged recirculate door so it only draws fresh air in. hoping this will make a slightly high pressure in cab so leaks are not as noticeable.

Is something wrong with your rubber door seals? My hardtop has rubber seals in good condition and I don’t notice any air leakage.

Years ago I read a post on the ford trucks forum where a guy used an electric wire fish to pull some silicon tubing through his hollow rubber door seals. He reported that it did a good job sealing leaks and preventing some rattling. The downside was that he really had to slam the doors to get them to shut properly.

Yes!

Your best bet is going to be to go down to your local dealer, and trade in your Wrangler for something that isn't a convertible.

There's this guy: www.jeepleakfixed.com
He's also got a couple of YouTube videos showing the product:

I haven't bought or used his product(s). Saw this thread and thought it could be helpful to someone.

If anyone installs it, report back.
