hmmm.... Perhaps I should reconsider this whole "Soft Top" thing. Granted, the draft isn't from the top....

But, the top leaks anyways.... and the draft sucks.... so even with the top up i'll be cold.... Maybe I'll just get rid of the top and doors all together!! I'll sell them, and just do like you said, and buy a nice gortex coat. LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!!! This JK-er is going topless year round....100* sunny days.....rainny days.....below 0 blizzards... I'll just take them all on the same....

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!
MJS, you are just too easy! Still havin' fun with ya!

Wayland, have you tried popping everything on your top loose and reclipping it all back together? The only time my top leaks is when my wife "helps" me put it up. It seems as though she never manages to get it seated properly on the front bow. It looks like it's right, but even 1/16" makes a difference on it.

Damn, must be gettin' old. Even took it in last week to get the heater fixed. That cold just gets in the bones anymore.

Don't run the A/C in the summer though.

Hats off to you frostbitten few (mine, you keep your hats on.)

Ugh. The chill is unbearable without the heater on.


I think the draft is coming from the drivers side door seal. That's where I feel it the most. Anybody else notice it?

Maybe it's time for new door seals?
