Default Jeep filled with water!

took my boat to the lake today, got my feet wet before I even got out the jeep

check this:

so I backed in a foot over the exhaust, just over the bumper...

-Water never came in the trunk and it was the lowest point with bad seals.

-water didn't come in the passenger side front or rear

-the water ONLY came in thru the floor on the drivers side rear seat.


Weather seals on doors are all good, and the door was shut. But it only came in the thru the driver side floor?

I shop vacd it all out and it's dry now, but where would it leak from?

Probably a rust hole in the floorboards.
