Take it back to the dealership. I can't believe Jeep still hasn't figured out how to make rain clouds stay away from Wranglers.

Seemed humorous considering it seems I can't get through the top 10 stock JK threads without one of them being about leaks

Gotta remember to pull the carpets so it doesn't start to stink. I don't know why it even comes with carpets in the first place.

I think it's funny as hell. You mean zippers and velcro won't keep out water? You jest.

I noticed an odor in mine, found the drivers carpet was soaked and the front passenger's was damp, pulled them out, it's been raining cats and dogs for a week now and my floor is still dry. So I have to assume the carpet acts as a sponge and pulls water through the seals.
