Drain Holes and unwanted floor air flow

[SuburbanGP88]

I bought my gladiator used and it came with after market dual exhausts; each side has a 2 barrel extension on it. Very loud; sounds like a Mustang GT and having it removed. At my age, 52, I don't need the extra attention and noise. BTW - I also have a hardtop.

Looking to sell it?

Although I've only had my Gladiator for 4 weeks now, I've noticed that I am getting cold air coming up from my floor, while the Heat is on High (Midwest Snowstorm; negative wind chill).

I also have a 2011 Jeep Sahara Unlimited that has the same issue. In the summer, I get hot air coming up and heating up my calves. Make wife unhappy too, so I got to get this addressed soon.

I inquired at the dealership service places and they mentioned the drain holes may need to be plugged. They said while the plug part is cheap ($8-$10) each, having them installed can get expensive, depending on labor.

Open to any suggestions for either jeep; Gladiator and/or Sahara.

Thx in advance

a slab of rubber under your mats. velcro strips to keep it down.

I have the opposite problem here in FL: In the summer my nuts are getting roasted with that hot air! about to get rid of these stupid weather tec mats!

Well in Oklahoma we get negative wind chills in Winter and 100+ degrees in summer; I get the calf burning too

I believe he was refering to the exhaust you are going to remove, he is interested in potentially buying the exhaust.

Bought an extra set of floor plugs this week, $5 each, I have the factory mats with the drains in them, I’ve noticed lately when I hang them up at the car wash, the high pressure blows them off, had to go back to look for them last time

I had the cold weather package and the floor mats weren't properly installed, but my dealer and I got them fitted properly, and we put the plugs in the holes for the front and I did the ones in back. It's pretty easy to pop them in yourself.

For a gladiator, how many plugs did u order? thinking 4-5 (2 front and 2-3 rear)?

The plugs should already be there, unless for some reason they were not put in at the factory. Regardless, I believe that there is a total of 8 drain plugs in the interior (2 front and 6 rear). The ones in the rear are only assessible if you pull the carpet out compared to the two in the front that have perforations in the carpet to attach the slush mats.

Here is a good video where you can see the ones in the rear.

Look for them on Amazon. Come in set of 4.

It'd be more likely for you to travel cross country by horse and buggy over rough terrain and complete that trip before your Quadratec order even ships....
