Sell the Jeep, and buy a Hummer, you'll be okay

When I let out the clutch my foot would always get drenched!Anyway compared to that this issue is not so bad.
My 89 YJ would do that too, would drip errr umm pour from the fire wall behind the dash, directly on the top of my foot/ankle/lower leg area...refreshing on those cool days!

Its part of the charm that is a Jeep..Leaks and all I still love my jeep..I have found a way to stop the leak over my passenger door lock..I just take my super camois and lay it over the spot of the door jamb where it leaks and close the door and presto no leak

Ha! I misread the OP and because I have the HT drip I assumed that's what he was bitching about. After giving it some thought I understand that with the HT one gets dripped on... But with a ST you pretty much get constant shower.

Default Silly Cone????

I got soaked after washing the Jeep Sunday. 2 hours of washing mud off and hardly damp. Open the door, and I get a shower......what a great Idea!!!!

Here is what I plan to try when it warms up. I have some vinyl top adhesive (READ: Black Heavy silicone) that I plan to backfill the channel from front towards the rear of the front door. Just a few inches. Hopefully the water will go towards the back and run down the B-pillar. Will try in a day or so and post the results the next time I wash, or SE NM gets a rain storm. Yeah it'll be a while.

Just park on a steep hill. Down hill not so good.


The wind deflectors don't work. They attach to the door, so still the same problem.
