There is a big plug/grommet over there. If you look up under the dash, you should be able to see it.

Sorrels aren't a bad idea, but I saw a thread where some fellow suggested setting fire to another JKers front seat to get rid of an oil stain...that could work for a bit.

You're a liar. It was me that made the suggestion, and I didn't suggest that the guy set fire to his front seat.

Last winter, I also had a draft in that location. Know how I solved it? By burning the Jeep to the ground! NO, not really (take THAT, seer1! ).

Actually, I've had my doors off several times before it got cold, and haven't had that draft since the first time the doors were reinstalled. Try rehanging your driver's side door - it may not be seating properly against the sill, which might explain the draft. Hope that helps!

I'll have to try that tomorrow... Might as well put on the nuts too, for the winter... Thanks

Remote starter. I highly recommend it. Got mine from the dealer for $360 including install. I love it. Wouldn't give it up for anything.

I have a manual transmission... Plus, the heater seems to heat up quick enough, so I'm sure i can run outside and turn it on before I eat a bowl of cereal or something...
