Hello, I recently had new doors, hinges, hood, and tailgate (covered under warranty) put on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler due to the galvanic corrosion issue causing paint bubbles. When I got my Jeep back from the dealer all four of my door seals now leak. I was told that the old seals got put on the new doors and Chrysler will not pay for new seals. So basically I took it in for one problem and got another problem in return.

The dealer is charging over $1,000 to replace all four door seals including labor. I could buy all four molar seals under $400 but I've never put a seal on. Has anyone replaced a seal on a Jeep Wrangler door and is it hard to do? Thanks in advance for any tips

Thats not right........
How do the door seals look?
Were the door seals damaged when technician removed them; from your original doors?
Were the seals installed properly?
Were the new doors installed and adjusted properly?

Door seals are easy to replace. Make sure you get the latest seals.
NOTE: some require 3M weatherstrip adhesive.

I would look closely at a seal on one door that is leaking badly, and see what it takes to take it off. Installation is basically the reverse of taking it off. Since it is leaking already, you won’t make it any worse. If it is easy, do it yourself. If it proves to be too difficult, find an independent shop to do it.
