I own a 1999 wrangler piece of shit. For some reason I love it. It’s a 4 cylinder, slow , noisy, gas guzzler, rough riding, etc…
But today a great thing happened. I found the leak, it took for ever but finally something cool. It was the upper door hinge. I changed all the seals but the cowl. So I had to take the windshield off. And that’s when I noticed one bolt hole was wet. Which makes sense cause it’s always wet at bottom of door. I thought it was the door the whole time. Wet carpets suck and with that Jeep it just made it bad to worse

I rtv’d the holes and where the body metal spliced I behind hinge rtv’d that too. I think a quick fix would be silicone the top of hinge And see if it helps

No they were right. I took the hinge off and rtv sealed all the shoes and there looked like a splice of metal on body that was overlapping one another and sealed that too. The one hole was real wet and thats after being in garage for 2 days
