Drive through car wash... spraying inside the cab

[JeepBeerSleep]

real cool easter egg. water pressure at the drive through car wash is enough to get me in the front seat wet and my kids in the back seat wet. im guessing its coming up from the bottom of the door but im not sure. anyone got a "fix"

mine does that too, just a little squirt

So it leaks at the door to body seam? Nothing to do with a removable top?

i havent ruled out the top completely, but it seems like its from an upwards spray.

Do you have any type of sill protection? Some have interfered with the door seals.

no mods to the doors or windows

Drive through car washes are generally not a good idea for any car. Especially one designed as a convertible with removable doors and a fold down windshield.

Super easy fix, Put your doors back on before going thru carwashes. ?

Try a different carwash maybe? I would also just open the doors and inspect the seals for anything that looks odd. Maybe areas that are overly compressed or a defect in the seal.

Mine has done that twice - hit me in the head once, and the leg the second time. Other times it was normal. I do not have any door or roof mods, although I never put the bottom hinge bolt back on the doors. I’m not sure if that makes any difference.

Not gonna lie, I’m a little nervous about that first car wash… is it common for hard tops to leak? (I’ve had Jeeps for years but they weren’t Wranglers or Gladiators ‘til now)
