Default I hate my jeep

k, i'm a newbie, so bear with me. just got an o6 tj sport 1 month ago brand new. problem is that there is always water coming in and flooding the wntire floor area. taken it back to the dealership already 4 times and all they have done is adjust the dorr and add some weather strip lubricant. they tell me that the jeep is meant to leak. well, is it supposed to leak to the point where i have to remove all the carpet because it is soaking wet and smells? furthermore, this only happens when i wash my jeep through the car wash. is it possible that water gets in the backend an travels all the way to the floor?

if anyone can help me iw ould really appreciate it

I believe that I saw in the manual where it said not to run a soft top through a car wash and when I bought mine someone told me not to run it through the car wash with either top. At least it's an easy car to wash.

your manual specifically states to NOT use the car wash in that manner...

wash it by hand or with a non automatic one, staying away from the top and door seals...

"furthermore, this only happens when i wash my jeep through the car wash."

Correct paragraph structure would be starting with this sentence. You should trade it in on a Subaru because obviously your TJ is defective...

Troll alert. Who else would write that they "hate their Jeep" on a Jeep forum?

For what it's worth, here's my $.02: You're a TOOL, and don't deserve to own a Jeep - go buy a minivan and go offroading in it.
