Hey guys, I posted a while back that I kept seeing water coming out of the passenger side rocker area, finally noticed it's pouring out of the passenger punch seam right behind the front passenger tire. The left pinch doesn't seem to leak at all, just wondering if this is normal or will my rocker panel eventually rot out because of this?


Cheers guys, thanks
Jay

 

I should be more specific, after washing it or after a heavy rain it seems water pools inside the rocker. Once after a heavy rain storm, and after the ground dried up, I moved my jeep out of the driveway. When I was walking back up to my house I noticed water on the dry ground water that had come out of the passenger side rocker of my 2 door x when I moved it....... I would appreciate any input.

 

I have not seen this happen on mine, but in my opinion I would rather have the water run out rather than sit inside the panel. I would be mostly concerned if salt in the winter sat in there......but it doesn't snow in Vic does it? Seriously though, just rinse it out good whenever you wash it.

 

No it doesn't! however the CRD still salts the road even though it barely drops below 0c, like last week there was no reason for them to be spraying but they were out in full force. I agree I am glad the water runs out, I just plan on keeping my jk for a long long time and I don't want it to crumble away like my old f150 did lol, thanks for the reply, cheers from the Island!

 

Yeah the water thing isn't something I would be overly concerned with. Something you could check if you look behind the rocker or underneath and see if anything is missing. ie clip, nut/bolt possibly water is just getting under the fender liner in which case is normal and possibily the other side would leak too if it had a place to get in.
