Yes just pull the plugs to drain, that's what they're for. There's 9 I believe throughout the jeep

Lifted the carpet and I noticed that there were holes drilled into the floor to drain the water...looks like a quick fix the dealer had tried to drain the water without me knowing about it. Can anyone confirm that there are only the plugs on the floors for water drainage, not regular drilled holes...I don't recall seeing drilled holes in the floors like this. I am livid about this!!!

Thanks for any input...

Oh wow...someone at the dealer should be pimp slapped! There are drain plugs in the floor but those holes are not factory. :naw:

I had a leak in the same spot, and fixed it by adjusting the angle of the windshield.
I had noticed that the gap between the door and the a-pillar was wider at the top of the door than it was down by the hinge. So I loosened the bolts holding the windshield in place, pulled the windshield closer to the proper position, then tightened the bolts. It's still not perfect, but it no longer leaks. I might eventually redo it so that the gap is perfectly even, but with the leak fixed I'm not in any particular rush.

What the hell is that!
I'd be pissed. Didn't the moron see the big rubber drain plug?

Sure, no problem. It'll be a few days before I can take them though.
