    I have a 92 Jeep Wrangler that leaks when it rains. We have replaced the cover on the air vent for the hood. We have closed off the hole that leads to the air vent underneath the driver side floorboard. It's still leaks. Any ideas?

    Welcome! Have a helper simulate a rainy day with garden hose set for shower mode to isolate the leak location. Water leaks can surprise you as the origin can vary.

    The windshield would be a good area to test initially. In the mean time removing the carpet and opening drain plugs will prevent other issues.

    Is your jeep hard top or soft top? I have had both and have had to replace windshield seal many times. It can look like a heater core issue but mine turned out to be windshield seal.

    Welcome to the forum Southern4.
    Since the windshield has been replaced. As aggrex stated. I'd start there. Keep us posted dude.
