As I posted my concern a while back and read all of your posts, this seems to be the best solution for "water collecting on the floor-board" after it rains.
I should have taken a video or pictures, but as the video says, here's the deal! There is a water collection pan just under the front part of the sun roof window. Open it and you'll see it because it has dirt in it. Water collects here and drains down a hole; look in the front left-hand corner of this so-called collection tray. A "blue" hose is connected to this "drain", and runs down the corner of your Commander where the handle is, in between the windshield and driver's side window. It runs down, under the dash, and just to the left of the "foot rest"; or that small hump you rest your foot on.
This hose runs through a rubber grommet/nipple that's in the floor. It's a hole that goes clear down underneath the car. My hose was hanging out of that rubber grommet and just sitting there. Was better off leaving the garden hose in the car!!!
When I pulled out the rubber piece, I could have slammed my car into the nearest Jeep dealership! The rubber piece came to a flaccid part of rubber that was stuck closed. Any piece of rubber that thin is going to close, and melt shut especially in the Texas heat! Black gunk had built up and the back up of water eventually pushed the hose out. I "CUT" this tip off, shoved the hose through so I could see it out the other end, put the rubber piece back into the floor. I poured water in the "collecting tray; whole glass full", listened to it gurgle down the hole, and watched the water come out from underneath the car.
I recommend watching this video I posted and fixing yourself. Very easy. Just need a flat-head screwdriver and care.
For those of you who actually have water inside your dashboard, I don't know what to say other than good luck and hope you find the solution. Check YouTube and the internet.
I will have to check this hose every once in a while now and if it comes out again, I'm sealing it to the rubber piece for good! Will post again after our next big rain.
Now I have to clear out the mold and dry the padding under the carper. Thanks Jeep. Wrong model to expose to the weather!!
Look for my previous post on this as I included a YouTube video link. This guy provided an excellent do it yourself step by step guide on how to do this. I now have no more water in my Commander when it rains. Good luck to you and hope this fixes your problem.
