Default Driverside carpet wet

I have noticed that the driverside carpet is wet, anyone else experience this. Where could it be leaking from?

If you don't have any major leaks, that you really need to search around for on your own, when it is raining, and you open the drivers door, watch where that stream of water pours to. In and out a couple times during a few days of rain really adds up down there.

Dont take it to the stealership, my leaks have gotten worst when I took it in for small leak. Now I am working on getting a new soft top or something.

If you buy a new soft top, don't buy a Bestop Soft top for Wrangler JK. Very difficult to ajust, and always a small leak from a door frame.
Bestop was very good for TJ, but the new model for JK is really not a succes!

The problem is not your door seal. The sport bar has to be adjusted. From the top of the door, take off the bolts of the sport bar, ad move the bar to the door. That's it.

Can you post a pic of what exactly you are moving? I'm not following what you are talking about. Sorry

Not being a wise-guy, but... you live in Canada? You got snow on your boots? If you can't find a leak (which we all assume is a problem in a Jeep), I'm just suggesting the simple answer is somtimes overlooked. Example: I had a new rattle in the Jeep (rear quarter) couldn't find it to save my life. Until... I took out the tool bag with the new ratchet set out of the Jeep. Yup, it was the damned sockets rattling around in the hard plastic case. When I hit a bump, rattle/ thunk. I naturally. blamed the Jeep. Yup, I'm a dope.

Duffy out.
