well this might be a stupid question but i will ask anyways...
whenever it rains a lot here in virginia i always get a leak from the top of the kj.
i checked the spots and finally realized it was my rearview mirror.
it is one that has the sensors on it and whatever.
it completely pours in my jeep once i start driving and luckily my stereo has not got damaged.
is there anything i can do to stop the leak?
has anyone else had this problem?

The only 3 things I can think of are:

1. Roof lights
2. Roof rails
3. Windshield

If you don't have lights up top check your roof side rails. Take off the plastic ends, there are 2 bolts holding it to the roof. Seal them up good. You could use a garden hose to check the windshield first. If there isn't a leak move up to the rack mounts. Then lights if applicable.

yeah, i have to agree with fulltimer. Taking a guess, its probably leaking from up top, running down the headliner, and finally down to the mirror. giving the illusion of the mirror/mirror mount leaking. I would definitely double check for the source before i pulled the mirror off. you know they never go back on right. Do you have a sunroof??

yeah, i have a sunroof.
it is leaking like right where the mirror hooks to the back.
i'll check with a water hose to see what happens hopefully tomorrow.
it ain't raining here for the next couple of days so i'll be good.
