Good job dude!Just got a call from the dealership!
Guess what? There is no seal on my floor mats. I’m not completely crazy!
They are ordering a replacement set. Mine do not have the part that would make them water tight.
Go figure!
I didn't get seals with mine and haven't seen anybody reference any seals, unless they are talking about the floor plugs. Post a pic when you can.Just got a call from the dealership!

Hi good morning,Are you expecting to put a trolling motor on and go bass fishing. of course its not watertight.
HeyI don't think the floor mats were designed to be water tight, just snap in place. I measured the floor mat drain and it was 1mm smaller where it goes through the floor than the factory plug. If you haven't seen it yet, look at this thread https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...er-floor-mats-drain-sealing.9836/#post-238196. I haven't tested with water, but I can see an indentation left where the inner tube seals against the floor and it doesn't interfere with the removal and installation of the mats. You just have to push harder to get them seated.
I think you have a different definition of water fording than some people. To me, that is completely different than water tight. Water tight means no leaks. Water fording depth means the depth it can handle without worry of mechanical failure.... it doesn’t mean it won’t leak. I think that’s what Jeep meant as well.Hi good morning,
Can you read? See the two photos I have attached from Jeep.com
The JL is guaranteed to be water tight up to 30” of water.
It is on jeep.com, their is a label on the tailgate and it is part of their marketing of the new JL.
The folks who keep saying it is not should take a little time and read about their new JL so they understand what it’s capabilities are.
I apologize ahead of time if this comes across being harsh. I spent a great deal of my time dealing with folks and their comments on here regarding this subject.
I even spent a good deal of time dealing with the folks at dealerships and Jeep care saying the same thing as you and they too have been corrected by FCA.
I'm not reading 11 pps of this thread to catch up on what seems silly... the floor mat drains are clearly there to drain out wet boots, snow, etc. (or in @Covfefe's case, peeing) and do not seal to the [carpeted!!] floor. For water fording, put the plugs in the floor and not in the mats... duh. Maybe that's all been discussed and I'm missing the point because I'm too lazy to read.Here's an updated pic attempting to show that the inner tube is sealing against the hole in the floor, look close at the shiny indentation going around the inner tube. It also looks like the inner tube is starting to fail, may have to try a little larger inner tube.
That blows. Wow. I’m going to put the plugs back in...Here is a photo of Kevin’s water crossing, it’s not that deep and his Jeep filled with water!
Per the dealership rep, this is normal?
Does this look like deep water to you?
Yep , @BillG reads the sales brochure very carefully : Water FORDING , NOT water tight . Also , here we have the fine print disclaimer that "Do NOT attempt water fording unless depth is known to be less than 30 inches" , and damage "may NOT be covered by the new vehicle warranty" .I think you have a different definition of water fording than some people. To me, that is completely different than water tight. Water tight means no leaks. Water fording depth means the depth it can handle without worry of mechanical failure.... it doesn’t mean it won’t leak. I think that’s what Jeep meant as well.
