After I did a window replacement with a professional at the dealership, the Jeep was getting wet on the inside. Just on the driver side and just in the floorboard.
It was not getting wet, even driving through the rain or sitting in rain prior to this window replacement.
The dealership said that there was a wiring that went through the firewall for a CB radio that was causing the leak. It was a straight rubber grommet going through.
I exchanged the straight gromet out for a 90° bend and left some slack in the wire so that it was lower than the hole to direct water.
A couple days later it rained again and there is water back in the floorboard again. Obviously it's something to do with the window or a seal and so I looked around and found a couple of spots where it looks like water could be dripping inside just on the driver side.
I was wondering if anybody else could take a look at the center of their windshield and see if there's a gap in the window flashing and if inside the little view circle they can see paint. Also check the door rubber channel and see if water can get behind the rubber boot at the bend toward the front of the door. That chanel looks like it could direct water inside if it gets water behind it.
I'd be happy to take some more pictures for reference if you need it. I want to take it back to the dealership and have them fix the problem but I need more direction to make sure that I know what I'm talking about. Thank you.
