    So we had some pretty heavy rains yesterday and my truck was just hanging out in the driveway as good trucks do when they're not being driven.

    This morning I drove off and the first right turn I took about 1/4 cup of water (about 62ml for you metric folks) poured out onto my left foot from under the dashboard. It did it to a lesser degree on the next turn and then it was satisfied at showing it's dominance over me, or it's bladder was empty and we proceeded on the way.

    In all seriousness though, I checked and the jambs weren't wet, the windows were up tight, the door seals look perfectly fine and there is no evidence of water that I can find in the pillars or even reaching up under the dash feeling around.

    Where could this water have come in from under the drivers side and what would be backed up enough to store that much water just waiting to dump on my feet?

    Possible. I'm used to a/c draining on the passenger side when there is an issue but I've been wrong a time or two before. I'm just worried if I take it into the dealer it'll be one of those "looks fine to us" things if I can't replicate it.

    Oh don't think the thought didn't cross my mind. My truck and I have some things to discuss after this...

    My 2015 Wrangler would do that when I ran the ac full blast. It would also have condensation on the vents.

    In short, I think it's a dominance issue. I wanted the top on, it didn't. I had to piss on the tires to reestablish my dominance.

    I had a rental buggy in Mexico that would do that. Shoddy fiberglass work would piss gasoline all over my feet whenever I hit the brakes or shifted gears. Damn car dissolved my flip flops. Still cheaper than renting a real car though.
