So my passenger side up front keeps getting a puddle in it.... I did new weather stripping.. nothing... I always take a towel to it and then shop vac it. Getting really annoyed with it! Where else could it be coming from ?

Hmmmm maybe from the window?

But how would it run down the window into the door and onto the floor? im so confused! lol its a mystery!

Mine does the same ish but in the drivers side

Mine does that on the passengers side floor also. I have looked and see nothing wet like water would be running down. I'm stumped also.

Check your evaporator case's drain tube that goes through the firewall or just the case in general for cracks.

But I suppose before you do that... Does it happen to only happen after the A/C is used?

No my. Ac isn't used. I always keep my heater on and defrost on low.

Are you sure it's not coolant leaking from the heater core? Does it only do it after if rains? Maybe windshield leak. On my '90 xj the window scrappers are in bad shape and I can hear water leaking in but it doesn't make it into the passenger compartment so I'm thinking a door glass leak wouldn't do it.

So it rained last night. Got in my jeep this morning and boom another puddle wtf.

X2 on this. They can get clogged too

HighRoller

The Heater doesn't but the defrost still runs the ac system just with hot air. Not saying it's your problem, just letting you know.

Ohh alright would that cause me to get about 2 coffee cups of water in my jeep?

May I suggest...

There may be a little rust/rot forming at the junction between your windshield gasket/silicone and the metal. It's becoming porous and will only get worse. Typical leak points include the lower corners but anywhere there's a weld line or sheet metal junction can be a site for a rust-attack. One way to diagnose/pinpoint the leaky area would be to squooge a bead of clear silicone RTV along the windshield gasket, spread some papers in the passenger foot-well and make your own rain. If no wetness appears on the papers then you might have the same issue I had. Mine resulted in windshield removal (waited for time to replace anyway). While the glass was out I wire-brushed all the rust out of the frame (there was a lot of rust but luckily no rot), masked-primed-sealed it, then installed the new windshield. Dry as a bone now...

windshield?

HighRoller

Yep, It could... My 93 was getting puddles in the passenger side floorboard a few years ago and I cleaned the drain and it fixed it. It'll accumulate and mostly spill out when cornering or during braking/acceleration or at least mine did....

If you think it's rain water getting in pull the carpet back next time it's supposed to rain and sprinkle the floor pan sides and bottom with flour/babypowder etc... and it'll leave a clear line when it leaks and all you have to do is follow the trail. This works good when trying to pinpoint engine leaks too....
