Maximum water fording is around 30"s wt a Rubi pentastar.....when the water comes from the top, all bets are off! Water resistant is one thing, but submersible is another...for that you need a submarine

Looks like the 2012s are going to need a 'Drill the Steering Wheel mod' to let the water drain out...

So is it okay with you for dealers to lie to customers or just the other way around? This is what makes it harder for everyone else to get warranty repairs.

A safari top + a header is about $115. A cab cover is $100.

Either option is looking pretty cheap right about now!

I assume this would effect 2011 models as well. I have had mine rained in. No problems.
