Pete M Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 i don't think a master list exists yet. I'm picturing it with photos of the plethora of possible points of penetration. some of them are not all that obvious when your interior is still intact and I think this might help out immensly.

I think this copypasta about covers it: Quote It's common for them to leak absolutely goddamn everywhere. Any hole in the cab can, will, and has leaked. The waterproofing engineer at AMC was out sick when the cab design for the XJ was approved, and the MJ has all the same problems. Sometimes they even leak where there aren't holes. If you want a waterproof Comanche, there's no easy way out. You've got to eliminate every possible leak point, and if that means stripping the entire interior, so be it. There are so many potential leak points it's honestly impossible to point to any one source in a "yep, that's where the problem is" way. Want a short list? OK: - Door seals - Wire harness bulkhead connector - Brake booster at firewall - Clutch master cylinder at firewall - Steering column at firewall - HVAC drain gasket - HVAC pipe gasket - HVAC fresh air duct gasket - Blocked HVAC fresh air duct drains - Blower motor gasket - Blower motor housing gasket - Antenna - Gaps in the seam sealer around the firewall - Blocked HVAC box drain - Front windshield - Rear windshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 I was thinking of something a bit more noob-friendly with photos and arrows or circles. and tips, like drilling a hole from teh engine bay through the wheelwell to keep water from pooling up in this area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, any time someone says Jeep and leak together in the same sentence, my brain immediately goes to oil leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 I mean, we've covered just about every leak at some point in time here, but the knowledge is scattered and so each time we talk about it it becomes "could be anything, you just gotta figure it out". I'm sure we can do better than that. It only seems like there are infinite possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
