We just got a ‘15 JKU. First time it rained I discovered water leaking from the top front corner of the drivers door. I took the freedom top off that side and inspected all the rubber seals and everything seemed OK. Not so sure about the seal around the door. Anyone else ever have this issue? I’m thinking I need to replace the entire seal on that door?
 
So many people have had this issue, and often times it's a different fix for everyone.

It IS a seal though, and the easiest way I found to uncover where it's coming from is to sit inside the vehicle and have someone (like your wife for instance) spray the vehicle with a hose while you're inside of it. Watch for the leak, and if the water is heavy enough, you should be able to see it.

It always ends up being a seal that isn't seated correctly in my experience, so I think you're likely onto something with needing to replace the door seal on that door.

These freedom tops are IMHO more of a hassle than it's worth.
