Electric windows wouldn't work. Cold ride home at midnight from work. Wonder if this had much to do with it? Time to patch the floorboard and Herculine.... ya wow

kirksjeep:
is that from the windshield leaking?  If it is, you might consider calling around and having the windshield pulled and resealed.  Since the glass is good,  I wouldn't imagine it would cost too much.  If you could find a safelite guy installing a windshield you might be able to convince him to do it under the table since it would only be labor and a little sealant. 

BlacXJeep:
Yeah its that spot that all cherokees leak in, there and in the rear drivers side through the stock cargo rack hole. I'm going to take all the carpet out and herc it with floor drain plugs. Then it can rain in there all day long! But yeah, that may be something to consider. just not a priority on my budget. I'm not excactly sure if its the windsheild, it seems to drip right onto my left knee almost as if it were coming through the top of the drivers side window, and sometimes even drips through the headliner. So I'll have to try to isolate it more before I have someone re-seal my windshield. Its also very intermittent and the carpet will just seem to mysteriously get damp without physically seeing any water dripping.

If it was leaking into the passenger front floorboard I'd tell you that it's coming in from the cowl. After a hard rain I sometimes had 2-3" of standing water on my floorboard. That is why I ripped the carpet out and bedlined the whole thing. You can hear the road noise a little more, but the water just sits on top when it does get wet. The only problem is in summer. If you get a lot of water in there and then it heats up the next day you end up with water on the inside of the windows where its trying to evaporate. This past winter I also had a couple mornings where I had to scrape the inside and outside of the front window.

Yeah ive had 2 inches of standing water in my huskyliner floor mats on the drivers side only though. And that was in the spring when it was raining like crazy all the time. I have to say I just laughed pretty hard picturing you scraping the inside of your windows. haha. I'm just happy my windowns work again, and that the hole in the floorboard was minimal.( about the size of a quarter)
