I need to do this.Maybe this is why I always get some water on my passenger side floor after a good rain.Thanks for the video
I cleaned mine when I first bought my Jeep. I also got a cowl cover, which has been really helpful and I like the look of it.
I didn't even know this would be a concern. Had my jeep covered in mud last week and the cowl was swamped on mud. Might have to take mone too and take a look under there! Thanks for the video!
So glad you did a video on this! Had to do mine recently because everytime it rained I would come out to the after sitting in my passenger side floor pan lol
Did it stop leaking onto passenger floor after?
@@poison_ivy_jeep430 It sure did! This is a good video to follow, all of my weather strips are good and my soft top doesn’t leak so this is definitely a good step to follow!
Very clear and easy to follow - thanks for posting
Great job. Will definitely do that to get rid of the water after every heavy rain in the cabin.
Thank you so much- this is great. Your explanation is clear and to the point. Much appreciated!!!
I appreciate your time in posting this helped me out a lot. 🤝🙏
I have cleaned my 98 that I had before and it's the same as the 01 I have but good video good information to know for the ones who haven't done this before. Keep up the awesome videos!! Love the channel!!!!
Thanks brother!
Great video...thanks!
Great Info Kyle
Thanks brother!
Thanks a bunch for the video. Well done.
Thank you!
With all the recent California rain i’ll be doing this after I fix my Axle U-Joints.
4:44 Great video. Do you think it would be easier to shut the hood for cowl removal and installation after you remove the 2 screws?
I just watched your video. I have a 1997 Wrangler. I have replaced every possible gasket, door seals, resealed the front window, and under my cowl is clean. Usually my TJ is in the garage. A couple of days ago it was outside in a heavy rain, and it leaked again on the drivers side. I just re-checked my cowl (which is clean). I noticed that it appears that there may be a plastic piece on the top of the drain (at 3:00 in your video). I'm not sure if water can get between where the vent comes up to the cowl base? Kinda grabbing straws here, but any help is appreciated.
Cool video. I have good one too
Thanks!
I noticed in this video you have what I presume to be an air filter over the cabin air intake. Is that original equipment or an addon? If it's an addon, where did you get it?
Very good videos, Informative and no BS. Thanks.
Thanks Alan! That was factory on my jeep
Hey Kyle quick question
I recently traded my full doors for a very nice set of half doors with new uppers, and am loving them. When it rained for the first time today, a lot of water came seeping through the gaskets and at the corners. How bad do your half doors leak if they are on while it is raining? Do you have any tips on how to adjust the way the door sits? I don’t think they are seated quite right
Hey Ethan, My half doors do not leak at all when its raining. How good are your factory seals on the half doors?
@@KyleSVT they are in great shape.
hmm I am not sure then man
Ethan..I have a 06 TJ full doors and hard top for like 10 years no leaks then 1 day after a rain I had like 2 inches of water on drivers side floor I have replaced door gasket twice added foam weather stripping tape and it still leaks. If you find something post it please
I have a 97 with half doors and if it rains heavy I get water laying in the door skin track. I have to lift the frame of the skins up to drain it out. Not sure why it leaks because my previous door skin didn’t do this.
My jeep only puddles when the rain comes. Or the road is wet. Is this the same issue for you? Or do you get puddling during dry days as well??
I wasn't having an issue just wanted to make a video on this issue that some people have
My plastic windows on my soft top are super faded & super black, I can barely see out of them & my rear window has ripped & is holding on with tape (holding on good though) so if I wanted to replace that what soft top do you recommend & how much would it be?
(98’ TJ)
Are you looking for just replacement windows or entire top and windows?
@@KyleSVT I should be good with just the rear windows
@@IKEACar I bought bestop ones and they are great
@@KyleSVT nice, around what price would those be?
@@IKEACar looks like it goes from 1150 to 1650 bucks depending on color and etc,. That’s on thier website though and that’s not a slant back top which are cheaper
Where is the Cabin filter located on a 99 Tj bro?
There isn't one
I don't have the weather strip.
Don't see why it's there or how it's useful.
Without it I would imagine water could get under the hood
@@KyleSVT ya but gets under there anyway
@@Jim_woods yea my only concern would be water getting at the computer right by the firewall. But its a jeep so I'm sure its fine lol
I think 104 they removed it I had a CJ and it had a drain tube that was nipple cream at the end I will ceiling it off and I just cut the hoes at the end of that let everything drain out. On my 04 however everything looks clean on the inside yet water still keeps dumping into the cab whenever it rains. And I’ve tried for the life of me to find a dream but cannot. Like I said it’s all clean the paint is green so I can see everywhere in there and I can’t find dirt
