It really is a shame that after 8 years of the TJ model, Jeep's quality
control is so poor that you still get leaks on the passenger floor from AC
evaporator water splash back, and leaks from cowl vents when going through
car washes, or during heavy rains.

I absolutely love my '02 TJ, but these quality control issues are disgusting
and NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Is anyone from Jeep listening? How long does it take to "work the bugs" out
of a vehicle. The TJ has been out since 1996 and these same issues keep
coming up.

Tom, do you happen to know if they can fix this if I take it back to the
dealer??

Yes, I would take it to the dealer. It certainly is a warranty item. New
vehicles SHOULD NOT leak when going through a car wash.
