05 Jeep Liberty Water Leak

I have had a constant water leak in my Liberty for about 1 month now. Rear carpet padding was soaked on both sides. Dealer replaced door seal and roof rack seal, which did not help. Removed interior carpet to dry it out. Today after a good rain, found inside with water again. Traced water back to rear cargo area. Removed wet carpet and started looking. Found water leaking through RH fender flare attach points. Doesn't look like any seals there to me, how do you fix that?

Had a similar problem the other day. Poured out and my 05 liberty renegad had huge puddle under gas/brake peddles.....please help

Same problem in my '02 liberty! The carpet of the front driver side and passenger side foot wells are soaking wet. I discovered that even when the carpet does not feel wet if I push on the carpet I can hear water sloashing underneath. The dealer said it is the windshield and the glass people say it is not the windshield. What do I do?

Same with my 03 liberty. water comes from roof liner so thought it was the roof rack (no sunroof) but wondering now. Really need help with this one.

My daughter has a 2008 Jeep Liberty that has water on the passanger rear floor. Sometimes it's an inch deep!!!! No explanation for it. Nothing is leaking, no windows were open. It's just water!?!?!? Any ideas?

I would suggest checking the roof trim as they are leaking due to poor design

How did you fix it? My jeep was diagnosed with the same problem. I was quoted $780 to fix it.

All of a sudden my 03 Liberty is leaking! Seems to be coming in under gas and brake pedals. I have had windshield checked and they say that isn't the problem. How do you fix this? HELP please.

Yep. I got the leaky roof too. Sittinn' in the dealership right now. Hope it's fixed!

Why do you think it is the roof? Is this what the dealership is saying?

after purchasing the 07 Jeep Lib from the Dealer lot, our first much needed rain here in dry country Colorado I noticed water coming in from the iside of the top windshield next to the mirror, luckily the rain did not last long but the whole inside of the windshield is soaking wet, took back to the Dealer and the srvce tech sealed the outer glass and said that this was a new windshield and why they did not seal it properly was beyound him, 2 weeks later more rain and the windshield is nice & dry, after having the Lib for 2 months so far so good, will report any new problems as they arise.

for the roof leak in Jeep Liberty, the roof is in three pieces that are glued together. After a few years the seals break. Put some windshiels sealer that flows in the two seams that are at the top of the roof.

Just wondering if you had any suggestions. This is the third time this year that the water is appearing. I thought it was related to the A/C but now when it rains, serious puddles...no water anywhere else but the passenger side floor.

My 2002 KJ has water leaking, I checked the sunroof, the drain holes are clear ,it maybe coming in at the bottom of the screen, plays havoc with the electrical system not to mention having to dry out the car,
strange, a 4x4 that doesn't like getting wet, what were they thinking ?
anyone with ideas (apart from buying a Toyota!)

I have had a water leak in my 2008 jeep liberty for over a year. The dealership has had my car in for repair so many times I have lost count. At one point they had it for over a month straight. Always the same issue, water. During the early days of the leak the water damaged the wires (harness) under the drivers side flooring. The alarm would go off and the lights would flash at random. This went on for months. The dealership had to replace the harness with wiring. They have repeatedly adjusted the sunroof, replaced the seal and stained headliner. To date I still have water coming in. The foam type of padding from the floor is currently hanging in my basement in yet another attempt to dry things out.
I guess when I purchased this vehicle it should have come with some restrictions such as you better have a garage and "this vehicle cannot be driven in the rain"' and "use extreme caution when using a hose to wash this vehicle". I have completely lost faith in this company to actually have the capability to repair this water issue. Never been so disappointed - and this is my first car I saved so long for.

I have the same problem with my 2006. I've had it for several years, but only now have the leak problem. Mechanic thought maybe it's the seal on the windshield.

I'm having the same problem in my 2008 jeep liberty. They can't find the leak on both side of passenger and driver sides on roof top and the read hatch is now leaking. I've been dealing with this problem since Oct. 2011 and it's still leaking...I'm so over this!!!
