Cabin water resistant?

[Seansmd]

I see lots of folks wheeling with tops and doors off. How water resistant is the cabin of our JT's?

I haven't seen someone take it open through a car wash yet. They went through the trouble of not having electronics in the seats, but not sure about the dash and center console (USB and inverter).

"So we have a 30-inch water-fording depth, which means we strike a line right down the vehicle," Wrangler's Lees says. "Anything, any electronic device that is housed below that line has to be completely submersible. Anything above does not have to be, but it has to be water-resistant."

Perfect, thank you!

I remember reading that they put the entire gladiator through a "misting" test. They took the doors and roof off and ran it under a mist for 24(?) Hours then made sure the electronics still worked. I can't remember the exact time frame for the test, but I remember they billed it as a "just in case you're caught in an accidental rain storm" situation

There is a member here that got caught in the rain and posted about it. He had pictures of his cup holders filled with water. ,
