Floor wetness problem
I've got a different question. I have a 2002 TJ Sport, and when we had the
monsoon last week here in Indiana, the drivers floorboard, and behind passenger seat were wet under the carpets. I had driven through a lot of rain the day before, and didn't know if water could get up in there. I checked the drain plugs, and they were intact. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. WP |

Re: Floor wetness problem
may be coming up from where the roll bar meets the tub. this was where i had
a persistent leak. if you have half doors make sure when you place the uppers back on, you hold and position the weather strip tail near the door hinge away from the inside. this will drain water to the outside instead of the inside. i also have a '02 tj. most dealers use an outside water sealer company to fix warranty leaks. just keep a watchful eye while they repair. the company that finally fixed mine stated they had many leaks in tj's around the roll bar. if you want to find and fix the leaks yourself, lift up the carpets and spray a moisture detector around likely sites. most body shops should have it.

Re: Floor wetness problem
What do you use to seal the leaks, if you can find them? Thanks for your

Re: Floor wetness problem
> door seals ..
> Nope! This is a common problem on TJs with air conditioning. The A/C moisture drain is on the firewall and it faces directly forward into the wind. Not a problem at low speeds, but at highway speed for extended periods the wind pressure pushes the water back along the firewall and it runs into the passenger compartment. The fix is easy. Locate the a/c drain and run a couple feet of plastic tubing to it so it drains downward or toward the rear of the vehicle rather than forward. |
