Default Rain in your jk??

It's topless season but it's also rain season. Anyone ever had their jk rained in? Did it hurt anything?? I've never had mine rained in but I always wonder if it will hurt.

Got rained on the other day on my way home. Drove about 15 miles in the rain. Really had no issue. I also keep a towel handy to wipe off surfaces when sitting still. Actually the rain smelled great and felt so clean...

I suggest running a search on this forum about jeeps getting rained in. Mine has been rained in several times and I've never had any major problems, but have had some "ghosts". From horn blowing by itself, to power windows not working, then back working.

Question

How about the cloth seats and Sahara nav system. Any problem with the seats smelling or nav shorting out?

I'll check out the search, but good question. I'm curious how the uconnect mic holds up.

I left mine in the rain overnight with the doors off but the top on. when i came out in the morning the floor was soaked in 3+" of water which was expected, but the glove box somehow trapped water in it till if was full and fried my GPS and CB so just be careful of what you keep in there


Ive also read that if the steering wheel gets wet it can cause issues with the clockspring causing all kinds of weird issues such as the horn not working/not stop beeping
