Driver's Side Water...hardtop?

i hate to bring it back up,but i'm to the point i will sell my jeep if i can't fix this!i can't even park it outside in the rain,it leaks so bad just over the driver side floor.bad.i see it dripping off the bottom of the dash but can't tell where it starts.LAST YEAR THE THING NEVER LEAKED...i don't get it.it's about embarassing.anybody know where to start?my rubber seems fine,but who knows.

Sell your Jeep over a little water leak? Really man??

It could be a few different things.
-Your cowl seal could be leaking
-Your vent tube (under hood) could be clogged or not working correctly

*To test these take your hose and spray water on teh cowl seal. If the Jeep leaks water afterwards, your seal needs replaced or modified.

*If you spray water in the intake for the vent system and get water, then it's not working properly. (clogged or other)

The top may simply need to be adjusted.. Did all 6 bolts go in with no trouble when u last put it on?

If if water is comming from behind the dash it's gotta be the cowl seal.

Mine did that after a weekend with the windshield down. I insulated it a little better and it seals up water tight again.

Come on man, that has been Jeep tradition for years, I've never heard of a Jeep that was ever made that didn't leak somewhere even the new ones, Jeeps aren't Cadillacs. My Jeep leaks on the floorboard too and I think it is a cowl seal or the vent tube, either way I'm sure that is what is wrong with yours. Like I said Jeeps are Jeeps they won't ever be completely water tight. Just my $0.02 worth.
