I noticed an intermittent leak coming from the box that holds the rearview mirror in my Sahara 4xE after a rain storm. After the next rain, it did not occur. However, it rained again last night and the leak returned. I took the front top panels off and made sure they were secure and properly attached, yet the leak returned. Anyone had an issue like this?

Make sure your freedom panels are seated properly. It is very important to get the seals to lay properly. Make sure you don't slide the panels into place, so as to crease or fold the seals. Lay them carefully in place.

If the issue persists, you make be facing a trip to dealer. This is fully covered and the dealer should have a leak specialist take a look at the issue.

You have a pinched seal most likely. Pull panels and check entire seal.
