Hey all, first time Jeep owner here.

It has been raining for a few days and last evening I noticed that I had some water coming in from the top seal on the tailgate window. It seems like a pretty common problem for JKs, but I haven't found much on JLs yet. I inspected the seal and it looks fine (as it should with less than 600 miles on the Jeep).

Has anyone noticed this on their JL yet?

Ours tight as a drum. No leaks even going through a car wash. Although I thought the antenna would snap at one point.

Lucky! I played around with the seal last night and didn't see any leaks with the rain overnight, so hopefully it helps moving forward.

I totally agree about the antenna.. I kept catching it on tree limbs hanging over the trail. I ended up getting a shorter antenna and only lost a little FM reception.
