Soaked carpet

While cleaning my Jeep due to an unusual smell inside found out that my carpet on the drivers side were soaked. So spent the afternoon pulling apart my interior to remove the carpet. I know that it's thick due to NVHS but darn it's like they put a 3" sponge under the carpet. I hope my door seals never fail if I am fording water because I was a lot of work sucking all of that water out. Well just so you all know what a pain that would be. Oh and you can't bedliner the floor due to the excessive amount of wire harnesses that are placed under there. Other than that a good day jeepin.

Do you have a sunroof or sky slider? Clogged drain tubes is what came to mind as a possible source of the leak. Also check the seal around your windshield, and whether your roof sheet metal is hairline-cracked at the roof rack bolts (fixed mine there with marine grade sealer).

I was thinking the same thing as lfhoward. Or was it cause by playing?
If that is not the case, it could be your A/C condensate drain is clogged.
If that turns out to be your situation, I now know where it is located now, because the A/C condensate drain was clogged in another KA owners rig (same HVAC as in the KK). He tore into his HVAC system, and posted Pics.
If you need the Pics just ask and I will point you in the right direction.

If you look in your wheel well behind the cover there's a huge hole by the pinch well that's where the water is coming from I have to weld a plate over mine on both sides so it doesn't do it anymore

It's the sun roof drivers side rear corner, front drain tubes are good to go but water is finding it way up in the drivers foot well out of a hole

Rear sunroof drain lines

Front sunroof drain lines.

HVAC condensate drain location. Like I said he "He tore into his HVAC system". LOL But with the location known, a simple hole and a grommet would make it easy to clean out.
Setup: remove center console, location is right in front of the shifter where the HVAC housing meets the floor.

The outside of the drain is right above the trans if I remember. There was a recall on 4x2 models because the water would cause the back of the heat shield to lose adhesion and lay on the drive shaft, which would turn into a big lathe until the shaft broke.

I've let the engine idle and then turn on the AC and defrost. Try and soak up as much as you can with a towel or something because it takes a while to dry otherwise. But it's workers for me.
