Overlander XJ Even bigger than it should have been since I mis diagnosed the issue. But now I have many areas covered for a while so hopefully the leaks won’t come back any time soon.

I gave up on my ZJ sealing and punched holes thru the low spots in my footwells to let it drain out as salt water kayaking had rusted the roof rack rotted out. Sealed the roof enough with fender washers and sealant. Glad to see all ur vids since we met in Canada 🇨🇦

I was almost at that point. I finally figured out the leaks but not without a lot of aggravation LOL. Hope all is well out your way and that you can still go out on adventures during this crazy year!

Wow that’s a lot of work and it must be very frustrating. One thing about my jeep is it does not leak that’s the only good thing, everything else is falling apart.

Wish it was my only problem. I have a whole list, but for now, no new engine. Ouch! At least you are back on the road and making the most of the year!

I was watching and waiting for a place to make a comment and then the cat showed up. So typical of a cat to be curious and make a mess. No one can deny you worked hard to get this fixed. I hope it's dry inside your XJ during your recent drive though a storm. That's a good test.

So far so good. Found the leaks that made the carpet wet at least, and still dry after my visit. Great to meet you last week and I'm looking forward to the next one!

My 2001 xj is leaking in the exact same spot on the lt quarter panel. Spray around lower rt. side of quarter glass. Mine appeared to be coming from there. I think it was coming from the seal to body. I have my glass out now due to doing a complete raptor job on exterior so not 100% sure yet. Did put new gate seal and didn't fix it so don't waste the money unless it needs it.

Thanks for the info. I sprayed the rear side window quite a bit and can't see any water around that area. As you and others have mentioned, I am leaning towards the roof rack holes or the mating panels in that area. I will figure that out another day. I plugged those holes to keep the water behind the panel to drain out. So far so good, and I was just camped in the tropical storm down south a short while ago. That was a good test.

The seam between the inner quarter and exterior is just spot welded. I think it is seeping under the glass seal and going between the two panels. If you remove the quarter glass don't tear up the seal they are not cheap for the newer body style. Try to remove the glass and use a little silicone where it pinches over the sheetmetal. May work. Pm me if you have any questions. Will let you know what I come up with once I figure it out myself. Putting new seals in mine. Fingers crossed !

Shawn Vergilia That was an option. In the next segment I will show it was not the cowl in the front lol. It WAS my blower motor seal. In the rear I fixed the remaining leaks by putting RTV in the seal all the way around the hatch door. I will try water from the top and see if it is the mounts. I have been rained on hard numerous times since then but no wet carpet so far. What a pain haha

I had "fixed" my blower motor seal a few months back. This weekend pending on weather I plan on removing the interior to sound deaden and insulate the floor pans. In sure there will be surprised along the way

That corner leak you have could be that corner where the roof meets the quarter panel above the rear window. Those panels are separated on mine. It's kind of, behind the lift hate. I'd post a picture if I could. Dm me if you need to and I'll send you some photos of mine so you can check to see if you're having the same issue

Think I know what you are talking about. I did a band-aid fix to keep that water behind the panel for now. It is either what you mentioned or the roof rack holes. I will look at both in the future. Thanks for the info!
