Ever go into one of those houses and everything is covered in plastic. Sofas, chairs , carpet , ect. that is what you need to do. other wise things will get wet.

 

Haha well I don't care about it getting wet, just getting ruined. So a better question would be would anything get ruined and how would I stop that, besides putting my top up?

 

Bump... Anyone have any ideas? Id really like to be able to drive in rain and not worry about it

 

No way to make it water proof but there are ways to help make it water resistant. Start with removing your carpet and hurculining or something of the like your floor boards. After that we get into electronics, not something I know all to much about so I will let others talk to that. Also get waterproof seat covers. that will keep your seat dry.

 

If you have vinyl seats you're already about as waterproof/resistant as you can get. The electronics are already sealed. Vinyl is resistant already. Just rip the carpet out and call it good!

 

Go to the hardware store and buy a case of clear silicone caulk and coat everything on the inside of the Jeep with it.

 

Not quite sure the words jeep and waterproof can be used in the same sentence

 

I'm going to fiddle with this as soon as I get some spare time on a weekend.

Few years back I repaired mobile phones. Two of the guys I worked with took a phone and put a couple coats of clear acrylic nail polish on the board. It'd still make calls while fully submerged in water. Very cool. So my plan is to take my dash apart and look for liquid stains, corrosion, all that nasty stuff. Figure I'll clean it up and put a couple coats on. This may end up being a bad idea lol, we'll see what happens.

 

:rofl: You're gonna coat the entire inside of the dash with nail polish????? :rofl:

 

Lol, nah just the electronic bits that are prone to liquid damage. Haven't done it yet though. Free time just isn't free lately

 

You could try this on the steering wheel...

Or This would solve all your waterproof issues...

 

Well ,,,

:dance: Truck, spray-in bed liner! Color of your choice:banghead:

 

I've heard that you are supposed to protect the clockspring or something in the steering column... but I never did. All last summer I had my top and doors off, even in heavy rain, the carpets and seats have always dried out very fast and never mildewed or started to stink. the only thing was the speakers would hiss now and then until they dried, but they still work fine.

I have ruined books that I left in there, and once I got caught in a storm, even though it was summer, that almost made me hypothermic. I was shivering so badly I thought I would crash, and I could hardly see through the water on the inside of the windshield. Thankfully I wasnt too far from home.

 

This is what I needed this weekend... rained hard and my jeep was turning into a waterfall

 

I have basically the same question. I'm looking at buying a 2012 Rubicon and though the interior amenities seem very nice, How weatherproof are all the new electronics? The steering wheel controls, power everything etc. ?

 

Hello, did you ever find out a way to make the steering wheel with controls more water resistant? any kind of steering wheel cover that covers the controls not just the outer wheel?

 

I like to take my doors and windows off from my softtop in the summer. Its annoying to always put everything back on when i know it going to rain the next day. I made a list of things I'm going to do so i don't have to worry about anything if i leave my 2016 Jeep JK in the rain

What i plan on doing:
1) Add some water proof seat covers
2) Remove carpet and get bedliner sprayed on from Line X
3) Leave doors off
4) Keep softtop on but have side and back windows removed (Just so my center console doesn't get all wet )

 

I've been in downpours topless and doorless. I ripped the carpet out and intend to linex it. Also thinking about getting boat speakers and radio if mine ends up getting damaged eventually but so far so good. Sun comes out then bakes all the water in the seats out. Eventually I'll upgrade the seats when the rollcage goes in so I think part of me is just looking for an excuse to replace things!
