I have an intermittent problem with my 2016 JKU. The carpets get damp. It has a soft top, and it has slush mats. Lately in my neck of the woods, it's been unseasonably warm and humid. No rain though. I noticed this problem in the fall as well on days that were cool and humid. It does not appear to have a leak. I will check the underside of the slush mats, find they have condensation, and the carpets will be wet. I usually pull the mats, pop the top open, and let the Jeep sit in the sun for a few hours to dry things out. However, I need ideas on how to stop the problem in the first place. Would adding vent visors plus cracking the windows help? Any thoughts? Thanks.
Also - as Rhyan said - after some rain my half doors let in enough water to where it gets a little damp in the footwells.
The carpets in these JK's are like tampons - they absorb a lot of moisture and keep it there unless you dry them out. In addition to better sealing, I'd suggest either the mopar floor liners (got them, love them) or bed lining the tub. I take the liners out every so often, wipe out the tub and clean it up just like any other paint on the jeep. My carpets were always wet from water dripping in from the doors being open, and it would stay there until I dried them out.
