Floor board plub location on '96

[Scottybuck]

I have a '96 Cruiser and am getting that pain in the $#@ water in my driver side floor board. I'm going to try to clean out the drains in my sun roof this weekend, but was wondering where is the exact location of the plugs on the floor? Any pictures? Thanks in advance.

Just pull your sill trim- move carpet and plastic harness sheath- should be swimming by now - and pull the plug(s) underneath

Time to use the search function...unfortunately there are plenty of wet carpet leak threads on the board like this one. Good luck, took some time for me to sort my leaks.

dont forget to drain your rocker panel, thats where mine leaks into, at least it dosnt leak into the truck.

There are plugs visible up under rockers- easier to see without run bds or undercoat- make sure you can thread a lil zip tie between the rocker pinch welts so that they are draining

Why do these things have leak probs anyway??- I have a 26 year old fJ60 that has never leaked- no wind noise, no water- original seals - except for windshield when i replaced glass 9 or so years ago. Owning everystyle of LC imaginable- the 90's to the Toyota truck mkt was not unlike the 80's to the music scene- some steps backward

My sun roof drains needed cleaning and yes I cleaned out my rockers. That did the trick for me. The water was leaking into the back DS floor board as well.
