Mine lets water in thru the firewall. The rear edge of the hood doesn’t have the lip turning down to act as a drip edge, the lip on the cowl is minuscule to say the least. I’m planning on switching to a steel hood, and build up the cowl lip.
May not be your windshield rubber. Next time it rains, lay a piece of Saran Wrap across the hood / cowl gap - still wet then it probly is your seal. If it dry, it’s something else.....

And it's a logical conclusion to jump to. I did the same thing, only my gasket isn't leaking. Had me stumped for a couple days...

Ok - This isn't anything I did to or with the CJ today, but I was in it at the time, so I'm counting it.
I stopped at fresh red light tonight, and a car pulled up,to my left almost immediately. Dude yells over and asks what year the Jeep is - so I said it's an 80 ( his wife is on the passenger side ears deep into her phone). He said wow, it looks great, I said thanks, it took me 6 years to get it like that - and it almost cost me a divorce...... He yells back " Definitely would have been worth it!!"
She knocked the
,outta him, and was still wailing on him when I pulled off LOL.

Nope, drove in the rain today and it's definitely through the bottom of the windshield frame.
I did try to fill the holes though...

Just tell her breaking them in at MOAB will help prevent future implosions...... helps them seat themselves...... Ans save the cost of more bearings down the road

Yeah when I was in Yellowstone & Grand Tetons 3 weeks ago. Elk were bugling and a few mornings in the low 30s. Just saying. Also dry as a bone here. September was record dry here.

The wife and I went to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons last September. No Jeep riding though. We flew into Jackson Hole and rented a car then stayed at Teton Village.
Elk were bugling when we were there as well. We also saw a few Moose around Teton. We woke up a couple of mornings with frost on the windshield.
