Condensation inside soft top this AM

**quigleytj** · 08-16-2006, 08:11 AM

Ok, head out to the jeep this AM with all my stuff....look inside and there are brown water droplets on the console...I look up and it looks like the soft top is bleeding brown water...temp last night was probably mid-50's to 60. We've had nights that were colder, could it be the humidity was just higher last night than the previous cool nights???

Not a huge problem, but annoying, and how do I get it not to be brown??? wash the inside of my top (no-it's not muddy).

Thanks!

Just condensation, I wouldn't worry. The brown is most likely just from the dust and grime that has collected on it. I guess you could always use a soft cloth and warm water/mild soap to clean it. Don't use dish detergent though as most have protiens that break down certain things.

Thanks Bryan...I'll try that, maybe tomorrow it'll have clear condensation dripping on my head...

I know..I was just playin.

At my house the jeep sleeps inside and the GF's Acura sleeps outside. When she complains I mention that it's all her crap that turned our 2-car garage into a 1 car garage.

No way, at my house all her crap will stay in the house halls and in boxes stacked to the ceiling. A mans garage is sacred ground and only to be used for TOOLS, TRUCKS, TACKLE, AND TJ'S. Bill

Same here...If ANY vehicle gets left outside, it WON'T be the Jeep.

As I've stated before, I would be a friggen basket case if I had to leave a soft-top Jeep ouside at night. I don't know how you guys do it.

If I had to park outside or didn't have a garage, I'd leave the hard top on constantly. (or I'd have kept the XJ...)

The problem is, it's my stuff taking up the 1 car garage...and if I cleaned it out...the wife (of 12 years) would of course park the (dare I say) mini-van in there.

So, I guess I'll deal with the condensation.....

My wife had the same problem with our jeep when she parked overnight at the hospital where she works. It left brown spots all over the interior as it blew around while she was driving home in the morning. It looked like a Coke blew up all over the windshield and dash!
