Default Water leaks EVERYWHERE

Hey guys I知 new here, I just bought a 94 xj a few months ago. When I got it the carpet was soaked and the floors were rusted out. I pulled all the carpet, repaired the rust and Bedlined the floor. Now I知 trying to pinpoint the leaks. I have a large leak on my passenger floorboard, I believe it痴 from the cowl. But the one that got me stumped is the drivers floorboard and behind the drivers seat. It just has a little water everywhere.

This is what it looks like after it rains

Drivers floor board

Behind drivers seat

Under drivers seat


Theres also some under the rear seat

i have rugged ridge floor mats and no water is on the mats, only on the floor

if anyone has any insight on where this is leaking, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mason

The passenger side water is most likely coming from the seal around the blower motor.

Easiest way to find leaks is to go look while it's raining. Second easiest is you crawl around inside while someone is blasting the outside with a water hose.

If anyone was wondering I found the leak, it was the windshield. I sprayed it with a water hose then got in the Jeep and right away water was running down the seal on the inside. Thanks for everyone痴 help
