The blower motor seal is what was causing my leaks. However, it could be your cowl (fresh air intake), your windshield seal, your AC line firewall seal (foam section), as well as other areas. The drainage for water around the blower motor seal is poorly designed and it is an easy place for water to get behind your firewall. To see it for myself I had to remove the evap components in that area. Before I did that, it all looked dry! Lesson learned :) Hope this helps!

My video (cheap jeep Episode #28) shows how I addressed this exact same problem. I had to remove my receiver dryer(was not a problem since my AC was empty) , then remove the blower motor(might have not needed to do that) then I sealed the heck out of the bottom where the orig foam was. We appreciate you making these videos therefore saving some poor soul in the future from giving up!

The fact you film and edit from your phone is pretty cool. Jeep should have made a drain in that area but all well. I guess the blower seal worked for the first 21 years. Having seen your XJ first hand I can say it is well thought out and works well for you. I've taken some of your ideas and incorporated into my build so thanks for all the videos. I look forward to some footage from your trip. :)

Too bad that was not something I considered sealing off better when I had my HAVAC box out last year. Will just keep watching it and sealing it up the best I can. Good luck on your trip next month. Part of the fun for me was getting ready and the anticipation. Glad I got to see the set-up first hand and your work in process.

this is a proper video. i've tried everything else. i already know what I'm going to do to dam this. assuming it is the source of my problem...jb weld, silicone and a little custom cut to build that up. maybe ill use the metal i cut from the cowl approach thinking that was my solution...thanks for the idea.

And of course, every time you park at the curb the passenger side is lower. I almost feel like drilling a good size hole in that spot, but then I have to remove the plastic liner in the fender well to make sure I don't hit anything important, and also to make sure I don't hit the firewall, making a new hole where the water could enter. On my 93, the windshield washer bottle hides that area, so harder to keep an eye on it for maintenance.

I have the same issue with my XJ and I went the trouble of applying sealant around that white box under the cowl- didn’t change a thing water still got in. Since it was raining I did notice water going through the engine bay right where the fan is mounted on the firewall. I drilled a hole on the engine side (you need a long drill bit) just outside the blower motor. But I noticed a channel next to the cowl and the fender, I’m going to jam rubber in that so water won’t go in that channel which in fact is just a little bit wider on the passenger side than the drivers side. Water goes into the engine bay with both channels but the blower fan is right there on one side.

Your videos haven't been showing up in my sub feed for a long time--- I am still subscribed though, very weird. Figured you stopped making video, but it took me a while to get the I_D_G_A_X_J in the right order, and remember your channel name-- but I found ya.

I didn't put any vids out for almost 3 months, but started again last month. You aren't the only one to have trouble with the name haha. I think Simple Overlander is easier to remember. I have a lot of subs that I don't see videos for and have to seek them out. YT just pushes me vids of previously watched videos and hardly ever pushes my older subs. Hope all is well up there. I had to cancel my trip to Canada since us Yanks aren't allowed in unless necessary. Maybe next year.

There are a couple of places that some small holes would make sense for drainage. Trying to keep it dry altogether was the ultimate goal, but the next round will include holes if I find standing water again.

I could since the factory drainage holes are too big to keep unplugged. It would help with standing water but I want to try and keep the carpet dry altogether, since it is my home away from home. Next time around I will add a few small holes if I have to deal with this again. In the tail gate I did drill 2 small holes on the outside of the seal where water sits when the rubber holds it out...a potential for that water to slowly seep in. I forgot to show that.

Having worked in automotive for 20 years, I now understand why my grandfather would shake his head in disgust while fixing vehicles. The reasons for these poor designs would make anyone's head explode....sometimes it was just laziness, other times it would just be the project time-line. There were many other poor reasons too. Made me mad every time!
