Water leaking in when it rains

[Kenny811]

My 89 did it!! I used the hose, drove it through the car wash, could never find it!!! Until I took the headliner out, it was leaking from an old roof rack mount hold & the top of the windsheild. The water would run behind the trim & make its way ( some how to the colum ) Then it started on the pass side. Then the rear hatch. Then I scrapped it out and am building a new one!!

Wow and I thought they all did that lol lol seriously though it very well could be the drain tube as previously stated but more than likely its the windshield weather stripping allowing the water to progress down the A pillar to the floor. This would be a seepage type leak and water under pressure would not find it. I would get some good 3m weather strip adhesive and gently lift the outside edge of the windshield rubber and run a bead underneath it.

Thomass,U spreekt de Nederlandse rechter?

Wow en ik dacht dat ze gewoon nog waanzinniger was gewoon nog waanzinniger serieus al het heel goed kon worden de afvoerbuis zoals eerder vermeld maar meer dan waarschijnlijk zijn de voorruit weerstrippen laat het water aan de A-stijl tot de vloer. Dit zou een zweet type lek en water onder druk niet zou vinden. IK zou wel een paar goede 3m rubber kleeflaag en til de buitenrand van de voorruit rubber en doe een bolletje eronder.

Another problem I found on all my jeeps ( XJ's ) the rain gutter at the back hatch. Open the hatch and feel all the goo that gets trapped in there. I cant be sure this was the cause of my leak, maybe from clogs over the years. But I wont rule it out either.
