I only get a few drips on the drivers side - bit more on the passenger side though.
When I had my dash out I sealed up everything I could see on the firewall with silicon but it hardly made any difference.
(97 TJ - softtop, half doors)
yesterday it was bucketing down and I parked the Jeep after going somewhere.
sitting in the cab waiting for the rain to let up, cracked the door open and could see water drops running down from the corner of the hard top running down between the windscreen frame and door frame.
if you park on flat ground not a problem as the water then runs down to the bottom of the door frame then out onto the ground, but if on an angle as PPG said then the water will run into the cab

I had the rear wiper motor cover fill up with water once. Turned out to be a lose hinge on the rear door. I also sealed up the grommet that the wiper shaft goes through. I remember reading a thread a few years back on the same subject and one of the reply's was "Its a Jeep, get used to it". I don't agree with this theory, I think the forums are a great place to collectively solve these issues
When I had the engine out of the TJ (another storyJ I found a brick in the bottom of the rubber drain attached to the bottom the section that’s let’s air into the heater, no more water drainage to passengers side floor, brick was leaf matter & mud baked hard by the engine. Have no idea how to clean it out with the engine in,

Since fitting the roof rack, no more leaks. TJ sat out in 4 inches of rain today, not a drop inside. Expensive fix, not that I got the roof rack to solve that issue but a nice by product.
