I got it here, but they have them on eBay for a little bit moreWho makes the step?
Do you know if the water is mainly coming from the roof rack, the roof or a combination? I noticed it on the windscreen but not at the back, I will now look at the back as well.I got sick of drips running down the inside of the rear doors, and falling inside when the rear doors were opened after rain.
I got a piece of ‘P’ section rubber and mounted it across the rear door opening (with Gorilla Glue), ‘P’ section facing up, and retaining the existing door seal.
After a test with the hose, it does appear to do the trick by not allowing the water to accumulate between the top edge of the door and the door seal. This means when the door is opened, there is no water to dribble down the inside of it.
I know it won’t solve extreme weather event intrusion, but should help a lot in the majority of situations. A simple fix that should have been done with a small gutter in that spot from the the start.
It’s just the dribbles from the roof - you can’t see it in this photo because of my mod, but the water drops onto the top of door and accumulates against the door seal where I have marked it in blue. When you open the door it runs down the inside of the door. With my mod, any drips fall down the outside of the door.Do you know if the water is mainly coming from the roof rack, the roof or a combination?

My car visited my mechanic today. There was 3 mechanics and 2 visitors just taking a look.
First stop Duxbury beach?I finally got my Grenadier registered and inspected so I can now legally drive in the People's Republic of Taxachusetts
Hi Rob, Love that red color against the Magic Mushroom. Maybe you need to wrap the smaller rear door in the same color red so the Grenadier will be balanced. DaBull
My only question is placement of the recovery boards on the passenger side. Why not put them on the drivers side where it wouldn’t impede the drivers visibility.I Got the decals put on the sides and the window done, Until I get some Lights and possibly a Low Profile Roof Rack, I am probably done for awhile.

@OverlandGearGuy - How confidence-inspiring are the side steps when attached to the L-track? The lower (short) track sections on the doors seem to be in a rather flexible part of the door skin (possibly because there is a window track behind there). The product pics I've seen on ebay etc. seem to always show these side steps attached to the door hinges instead of the L-track. Made me wonder if the door skin flexes when you use the steps.
Good to hear. I hope to mount some steps just as you have done, but was concerned about stiffness. These fold-down steps are literally the only legitimate use I can think of for the L-track on the doors. Putting the steps on the L-track instead of the hinge moves them rearward a bit, which (hopefully) keeps the front door from swinging into a deployed step if the rear door is left fully open. This has happened in my Jeep with hinge-mounted steps.So the main reason I went to the "L" Track and not the Door Hinge's is the washer's provided were not correct and the bolts were Silver, and the door Hinge bolts are Painted to match the vehicle, so I would not have liked that, if they would have been Black Bolts and the correct washers I would have went to the Hinge, they seem very secure where they are now, I had two people climb on up them, and not flex or bowing.
And for as often as I will use them, this is a good location for me.
Love the matching Eldoret Blue Ice!Took a nice drive along the Mohawk Trail in Central/Western MA
