Condensation in front trunk

[Insureit1]

Anyone else having an issue with condensation in the front trunk. Rivian service says this is a first for them. It is not water coming in from the outside, it is condensation. The shelf is damp and i cannot leave anything in the frunk or it will get damp/wet.

Isn't the AC compressor right behind there? Maybe something wrong with it causing that?

That is really weird. Their are ac lines on the passenger side, so maybe that makes sense, bit nothing I am aware of that could cause that on the driver's side.

This one going to be very interesting as to what the cause!

Perhaps the radiator cooling fan is heating the frunk, then condensation occurs when it cools off?

Is there normally a baffle/deflector or insulation between the fan and the frunk tub?

Have you stored anything in there recently that was damp? Did the mid level "carpet" get wet from something?

Stop opening the frunk when it is hot and humid outside? It's a sealed space.
Either that or you have some sort of an air leak from the cabin hitting that spot.

Thats weird. No issues here and I've had a variety of things stored in there over the last few months.

I have not, however my driverside carpets are getting soaked from condensation. It is at the SC now for repair.

Really? I should not open it when hot and humid outside? I have an appointment for a week from now so we will see what the deal is then.

Not that I am aware of. It is also getting worse so that tells me something is not right.

I think this may be part of it. I was told on the phone today that some air is supposed to be getting into the area and than a "panel" may be out of alignment. THey wanted me to send these photos and a video showing more detail.

Wow, that’s a lot of condensation.
