Hi Everyone,
Driver's side carpet is wet. When I pulled it up, I found a puddle of water which I drained by opening a plug. I let it dry for couple of days but the moisture reappeared. The water/?? has an oily substatnce to it and it smells like viniger. Once again I pulled the carpet up and went a step further and pulled the black rubber/insulation. It looks like the water/?? is running down the right side wall. Please let me know if someone encountered a similar problem?
Hi Mark, I've got the same problem, driver's side (front only) wet but without the oily substance/vinegar smell. Just soaking wet. The dealer says they cleaned out the drains, kept my car for 4 days and "ran a hose on it" over the weekend. Couldn't identify the source. Still leaks. They told me upfront that leaks are hard to diagnose so I guess I'm just supposed to live with it? Now I've got a moldy smell. I've been really unimpressed with the Portland dealer in general so I'm hoping you might have better luck finding an answer. If you do find a solution, please post. I've read the other wet carpet posts and it would appear that the dealer has tried everything they've suggested. Good luck!

Thanks for the info! I'll give it a try. I've added my year. Didn't ask for it when I registered. Perhaps model/year in the signup? Thanks again for the tips. Now to get rid of the moldy smell without getting rid of the carpet...
