Help! Water in my glovebox- is not what I expected 24 hours after my purchase of a 2008 Sahara JK. I wanted to get some advice from someone who’s been there/done that. I assume I can get a rubber molding kit for the top- any recommended brands or suppliers? Tips? TIA!!

That seems like an odd place to collect water. I have the old leak manual on my Google drive, but don't think it has anything about glove box -

Maybe same as instrument panel on other side. Lots of times Quadratec is good place for the foam, muckets, and such.

I've never come across that before. Thanks!

Y, I pulled that from some other thread years ago and saved it thinking the same thing. I believe I have that so anyone can download it and save it themselves. If not, let me know.

Admitted novice here, but I do know that the interior air filter is right behind the glovebox. Can the water be coming in thru there?
