Water in Floor Boards

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have had problems with water in the driver and passenger floors. I have pulled the carpet and letting it dry out. It is not the AC. I am going to have the Sunroof drains checked Friday. Are there any vent drains that it could possibly be that i need to check.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Looks like no leak or sunroof problem. Only thing we can figure out is the Dealership i bought it from cleaned the carpets and did not get all the water and stuff out. The water was soapy. There is alot of insulating foam that soaked up the water and they probably could not extract all of it when they cleaned it. I have been driving it around with no carpet for 4 days in the rain and have no sign of water or a leak. I guess that is a blessing.

I just cannot imagine what else it could have been.

Weird but glad it was not something major.

If that was the cause of the moisture then watch out for mildew , the sponge under the carpet can soak up quite a bit of water.

Thanks Max

A buddy of mine does flood and fire restoration on homes. He gave me some stuff to spray on it to kill any chance of Mildew. I have had the interior carpet in a heated warehouse for 4-5 days. I probably wont install them until Friday or Saturday. Just glad i caught it. I was real nervous i had major problems. Alot of foam to soak up water.

Thanks guys.
