When it rains, my floorboards are soaked in the front. I cannot find where any water is tracking in. I'm thinking it could be rain running down the door window channel and somehow getting through the rubber seal to dump in the floorboard. I have the Sky One-Touch if that makes any connection to other's having similar issues. Any thoughts or other experiences? I dread taking to the dealer to "diagnose".

Some here have talked about doors leaking, drain plugs in the floor?

Is it one particular side or both in the front?

I have to open the plugs to let it drain. It's a decent sized pool of water. I don't like leaving them open because the 392 is hot and loud.

Damn, yeah it was just something I thought of off the top, doubt they would let that much water in that way anyway unless sitting in a stream.

Can you give more details, do you notice the water inside when you:

1. Drive through water on trails (Depth?).
2. Drive on a wet paved road.
3. Parked outside in the rain.
4. After washing the Jeep (Pressure washer?).

This is after a decent couple of hour rain. Not a storm or anything hardcore. My driveway is on a slight incline and it doesn’t matter which way I’m parked. It takes days for the carpet to dry.

I haven’t been through a water crossing high enough to know that. Nothing on a wet paved road and I don’t notice anything while driving during a storm. This is just sitting in my driveway when it rains.

Check your one touch top drain rail tubes if it has them for any blockage.

Have the same issue right now, dealer has replaced 2 out of 3 seals that they say is causing the issue and only on passenger side. 2022 rubicon Xtreme recon, 3 piece black hardtop and full regular doors. It seems as it is leaking from in between the door and the pillar. We got hit with a lot of rain these past two days and it is still leaking but not as much as before like in video.

If you’re in a house or an apartment and have access to a garden hose sit inside the vehicle while someone sprays down the top and doors to see where it’s coming from.
