Wet floor in Driverside floor pan.
With the warm weather here I went to do an interior clean and when I went to pull out the floor mats I noticed that the carpet looked wet. I put my hand down on the floor and it was soaked! The other sections of the floor were dry, it was only the Driverside floor pan that was soaked. I could actually wet vac up the water, when I press my hand down it looked like the water was about 1/2" deep. I dried it out the best I could, but it's still wet. I'm thinking it's the Driverside door seal as I can't see it coming in through the ventilation tubing or I figure it would show up in other areas. Anyone else have this happen?

Got sunroof? Drain tube detached from exit point?
I had one where it had dried out seam sealer and it had cracked open, in a corner near where the fender/firewall meet just below the bottom corner of the windshield, drivers side.
There was probably a gallon of water in the carpet and under the carpet, I had to strip the interior and raise the rugs, shop-vac what water I could see and squeeze out of the carpet...... and then put a big ol fan blowing into the car overnight.

Re: Wet floor in Driverside floor pan.
I didn't get that much water as you this year but I have crappy all-weather mats that cause the melted snow to leak into the carpet beneath. Doesn't help that I backup the driveway and park on a slant to the left and all the snow melt runoff leaks over the mat and into the carpet. I'm too cheap for the fancy WeatherTech mats with a rim to contain the snow melt.
