I have a 2008 2 Door with a hardtop. Sometimes when there is water on the roof and I open the driver side door, the water runs off the roof from the left corner of it nearest to the windshield and gets inside the car. Not a huge deal, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this knows of any fixes. I bought the car used about a year ago and have been experienced this the past few months.

Psssst.....

From one n00b to another.

Don't call it a "car" around here.

 

[lolpetewtf]

Happens to me. It's normal.

 

[whetstone]

Yep, normal. We can put a probe on mars but can't figure out how to channel water to the outside of a jeep... it's my pet peeve on my jeep.

 

[whetstone]

If you leave the doors off in the rain, with the top on, all of the water is directed into the front floorboards.

Happens to my soft-top...when I open the door in the rain I have to step through a waterfall every time.

Part of owning a Jeep!

I always forget to do it, but I've heard giving the soft top a little tap a roo before exiting reduces the amount that comes in. I just need to remember to try it before I get in the rain.

It only happens when there is water up there AND then I open the driver's door. It doesn't get in if it's closed. That's a good thing but yeah, no solution for a channel of some type with all this technology? Oh well, we knew what we were getting into when we bought a Wrangler! That's also one reason I also didn't opt for power locks, and windows. No chance of water messing with my hand cranks! HA!

Very simple---- just leave the top and doors off!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

Oh that's a "feature" exclusive to the JK.

Chrysler designed it that way to rinse the mud off your left boot before you climb in so your foot won't slip off the brake pedal if you need to stop suddenly after wheeling.

LOL That sounds like something a Jeep exec would say.

This bothered me the first few times it happened and I thought man the water is gonna screw up the door electronics... now its just part of owning a Jeep ive gotten a wet shoe and shoulder a few times but its nothing that wont dry...

Always let your passenger get in first!

 

[Afmcronnie]

Jeeze, rock the Jeep before you get in, or park on a hill, nose down. Be glad you dont have a Duster....I filled my rear cup holders twice, AFTER getting my face washed by the top.

 

[MrSig]

I got the fix for you! All you had to do is search.

And it still works great.

 

[chopperbobby]

park with the front end up hill and get out fast

Rock the jeep. Best if you have steps or rails to hop on.
Or skip a shower and bring shampoo out.
Good for those running late days
