Yes, it's under the drivers side wiper.

If you open the drivers door, and disconnect the round rubber conduit from body to door you will also notice water running out of the hole in the body.

The water will start on the drivers floor only then eventually move to passenger side. Only the floor, not the walls around the floor or by the pedels.

Idk how to fix it.

Well the size of the factory hardware is probably around 3/8"-1/2". I just called a local Jeep only junkyard and they have a ton of them left on some of their part outs so Ill be picking up factory J hooks for it.

Mine has a leak in the floor pan im guessing. Only really happens when the Jeep is moving and i can watch the floor fill up with water somewhere above or right at the floor drain.

Any creative suggestions on opening a stock D30? Is there a hidden pry place? It seems I did an excellent job with the RTV last oil change lol. She won't budge

Carefully use a screwdriver and mallet and work around the bottom of the housing

That's unlikely. If you have the cowl leak, it will pool up around the drain.

If you had a hole in your floor, wouldn't the water drain out rather than fill up.

It's natural for water to go toward the drain plug. It's designed for that.

Just go under and have a look, I bet you also have the common. Misdiagnosed. Cowl leak

Oh that makes sense, the water would run back up the slope of the floor pan and drain out where its leaking from... above the drain.

Beat it with a dead blow. If you have to give it a little pry with the screw driver push towards the cover that way if you mar it up at least its just the cover.

Also, last time I did it I think I stuck my finger in the fill hoke and gave it a good pull.

Honest opinion. Looking at these fiberglass fenders. I personally like the look, I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with them? I've seen some around the forum. I go wheeling a lot but I've never hit any of my fenders even in tight spaces so I don't think breaking them will be a big issue.

I think they're ugly unless you do the rear to match.

That's why I didn't buy them the first time. But I've since then trimmed and folded the rear so I don't think it would look bad. (Some guy runs them with a trimmed rear on here) I forgot his name he has the circle headlights and goldish jeep with a warn windshield decal.
