Problem overview

Some Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report experiencing issues with crumbling front window felt, which can lead to water entry and streaking problems. This issue may contribute to water leaks during bad weather, prompting multiple trips to the garage without resolution. Additionally, some owners have reported water entering through the top corners of the lift gate window, which can exacerbate the situation. Defective weld seam sealant is also noted as a common problem, potentially causing water to accumulate under the rear trunk floor. Furthermore, professional windshield replacement is crucial to avoid fines in certain states, as driving with a damaged windshield poses additional risks. It is important for owners to address these concerns promptly to prevent water damage and maintain the vehicle's integrity.
