2004 Wrangler Leaks when rains
I am new to Jeep and I have never owned a Jeep before. My wrangler (soft
top with half doors) has a small pool of water developing in the floor section of drivers side only. During one heavy rain storm there was a constant driping on my foot as I drove coming from above the accelerator pedal. The passenger side stays dry. I need to bring it back to the dealer to get it fixed. My real question. What should I expect from them? Is it possible to have a jeep that does not leak? Or should I just rip out the carpeting now? -jpl- |

Re: 2004 Wrangler Leaks when rains
It shouldn't leak. Perhaps the driver's side seal isn't fitted properly.

Re: 2004 Wrangler Leaks when rains
It should not leak...much. EArly TJs tended to leak from the cowl vent onto
the passenger side floor. Where you describe sould like possibly the windshield seal, etc. Best way to find it is to button everything up, get under the dash with a flashlight and have someone spray a hard stream of water on the entire winshield area. After your back has about given out and you're ready for traction it's likely the leak will make itself eveident. (This is just one of the reasons I quit wrenching for a living about 22 years ago!)
