Yea, my question also. Our 07 unlimited with soft top is very air tight with the doors shut and windows rolled up. Never had a problem like you describe.

Did you accidentally leave one of the soft top windows unzipped?! I've never had that happen to mine when I had the soft top on...

Ditto! Check your Zippers on your Side Windows. They may just be held up with the Velcro, giving the impression that they're secured. Could be where the dampness is coming from.

Also, how about your Drain Plugs? Are they all in and secured?

Best of Luck!

Cheers!

Default Moisture

This could be from wet carpeting. Moisture evaporating and condensing in your Jeep.
