First rain since I’ve owned my R1T here in California. I park outside and it has 750 total miLes on it. Last week we were off on vacation and we received about 1/2 inch rain. This morning I go to get in and I see the drivers floor mat looks different with half being dark and half being less dark. The dark half looks like it’s wet, because it was. It’s not raining now but will later today so I may be able to find the culprit

. Where could this be coming from? I don’t see any water marks On the headliner so I don’t think it’s the glass roof. I don’t see any water marks on the dash either. It looks like the passenger seat and rear seat footwells are dry. I’ve requested a service appointment immediately and they hv]ave me schedule for mid February. I’ll have a truck full of mold by then. Anyone seen this type Of rain intrusion in a Gen2 R1T?

I think some people have seen AC leaks causing this? May be worth a search.

Doubtful. It’s 60 degrees. Truck sat for the week while I was out of the country and this is the first rain the truck has ever seen. The AC would have been inactive. I even lowered the charge to 50% when I left on my trip with the battery at 65% so it never had a need to charge.

I had rain intrusion, the headliner did not show any evidence of wetness, but the rain was coming from the junction of glass roof and front trim. The water collected in the overhead console courtesy lights, I could see the water move around as I turned.

The service center took care of it in 3 days, not counting the wait t get in. No issues since.

I had the same issue. It was fixed last fall. It’s now happening again. It’s outside water coming from the cowl somewhere. I will be talking to my Mobile Service Tech this afternoon when he comes to fix some loose window trim.
