Yeah I see the same spot. It's the missing insulation.

Never noticed it on mine, but I don't have any insulation.

Well if it makes you guys feel any better I have a 07 Unlimited Rubicon and a 08 Unlimited Rubicon and both have the same spot on the hood that stays dry for some reason. I have not idea why. Chris

I gunna guess it is due to the fan running. I have to check if occurs if the car is not running.

'08 Rubi Unlimited and I have noticed the same spot.

Been meaning to try and figure it out, but it just hasn't been that high a priority.

Or by the time I get home I don't see the spot because the is all even and warmed up.

I'll try and look tomorrow. We have had frost for the past couple days
