Post subject:  HELP! Water leak on front passenger floor!
Got a 2005, with sun roof.

Over the past week I saw water running out from the very front of the headliner- right at the windshield and headliner dead in the middle, while I pulled out of my drive way after a raining night. The water ran on the inside of the windshield glass :(

While driving in the rain all seems dry.

But today I checked under my floor mats and only the right front floor area is soaked-even under the carpet.

SO is it the windshield or perhaps the sun roof drain????

My driveway has a very slight incline uphill and I park straight in, if that matters.

Any one know of a "common water leak problem" with the 05 KJ?

Thanks

I got a few leaks after installing my renegade light bar from the exact place you mentioned.

Also on the floor on the drivers side. I diagnosed the problem with the leaking was from the lightbar, and added some 3M 5200 (marine underwater caulk). That has helped but not completely solved it. When sitting a few drips will enter from the headliner and drip through the hole where the vanity mirror/sun visor is.

The dripping coming down to the floor could be from aftermarket wires running through the door, or from the roof as well running down the A-pillar. Like your KJ mine also has a Sunroof, but I have not been suspect of it yet...

Hi guys.
Had to bring it to my diesel mechainc.
Guess what it was....
The right front water drain for the sunroof was clogged?!
Its only 2.5 years old and I never park under trees or been off road?! Very strange. Had the passenger seat removed and air dry for a few days with an electric heater. All dry now. Fixed.

Usually algae will grow in the tubes making a slime, and cause the blockage, a little bleach through the drain tubes and followed by fresh water rinsing will curtail the problem. Sort of like a drain cleaner.

I need to look into this. Gotta find where those tubes are first. Dont want to pour water in some hole and have it get all over the head liner. :?
