I finally got the EVO sliders welded on. They have been in the garage for so long my kids started believing there was a jungle gym in there for them!

In other news, I really need to get the carpet yanked out and dried. There is no leak from up top or anywhere that I can see on the upper door halves, but the carpet on the drivers side gets soaked every time we have a hard rain. Nothing in the slush mats, just the carpet underneath. Just my luck, its supposed to rain for a week straight too!

My carpet was always soaked there as well. Turns out the heater core was leaking. Soak a paper towel in it and see if it is coolant.

Did you make sure you had all of your drain plugs (do you even have drain holes?) I had the same problem in my 09 JKU (rear cargo area) just to find out the there was no drain plug above the exhaust. Mud and rain ruined that carpet until I found it. Do you notice it before or after you drive somewhere? It would only happen to me after I would drive to work or something like that. I wish I had pictures to be able to show you. I hope this helps.

Thanks gents. I just checked, its definitely not coolant. I also checked the heater core, no signs of any leaking. There is a drain plug under the drivers side floorboard. Its sealed up good. It appears to be leaking somewhere near where the upper door half and windshield meet and the water is flowing down the inner door jam. I think this because I just saw some watermarks there. It doesn't leak all the time, only when it rains hard. I'm going to play with the weather-stripping a little and see if I cant get it to stop. If it continues, Ill just yank it out like I did the 2 door.

You can also get some silicone lubricant from a hardware store and “lube up” the rubber real good!:clap2: It work wonders on my leaky hardtop on my 09 (can you see why I traded it in?:crazyeyes:)
