the air/water comes in from the mirror area. the "v" at bottom of the mirror housing was molded there for drainage but you can see the foam gasket seals it, trapping water!

i notched the gasket and the "v" ...... and now SHE pee's happily, all down her leg - -

I just got my Jeep Thursday and I noticed it dripping after bringing it home from the dealer. So I took a 100% cotton towel and wiped it down. I looked at it again in about a half hour and it was back! Just drilled mine. Thanks

This is one of the simplest yet best ideas on this thread.
