Hi I have a 95 yj and I leave it exposed to elements (no top). I have herculined the interior. I live in Florida so I dont have to worry about snow, but it rains all the time. The rain usually drains out, but I dont want my jeep to be harmed. Will I be ok?
 
Nope, bad idea. Your electricals will be affected in an adverse and expensive way before long. Salt + water will destroy anything electrical before long. Don't do it!
 
Some of your electrical stuff might go haywire, I know my hazard lights don't work anymore and it didn't take many storms for it to happen. Your seats will dry out, but it can rust the metal seat frames, which would be dangerous. Sunlight will fade plastics and fabrics. The floorboards will be fine since you herculined them. I'd recommend doing something to protect the seat frames.
 
Snow does not hurt it. The sun does. The UV rays that give you a sun tan, also eat away at plastics and vinyls, fades leather and rots out rubber. Rain droplets work like a magnifying glass damaging it faster. Same effect to paint job.
