    Ok. I have been to a car wash before in my truck, but this time was different.

    I noticed there was some water dripping below my glove box on the passenger side. I did remove the antenna before I went through because I didn't want it to get bent up. Not sure if that is my problem but this is the first time that this has happened.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Well you discovered your truck ain't submersible. I can't offer much help to answer this, but I can relate. I ran my truck into a car wash. And later I was cleaning the driver floor kick panel and noticed drops of water, I removed the entire kick panel and there was more moisture. On the metal floor, even around the electrical wiring too. Not a lot of water, but noticeable. Not sure what else I could do, definitely dissapointed in the weather stripping job on my truck though. :confused:

    Check in the cowl compartment (the area under wiper arm pivots) for displaced seal, clogged drain, etc.

    Toyota (and most other automakers) have a high-pressure wash built into the end of the assembly line to check for leaks.
