    No. Everything was dry. Floors, ceiling, and windows were dry.

    I carry a roll of paper towels in my truck and if I see any water on my Husky Liners when I get out I sop it up with a paper towel. I even have a pail of DampRid sitting behind my seat in the access cab floorboard.

    OP...my dash will fog up like that once in awhile. I think twice in the last 3 months.

    (1) Does the truck "live" outside, or, if inside, in a heated or non-heated space; and (2) What was the RH?

    So I just noticed the same thing yesterday. we had record amounts of snow and then bam my truck is full of H2o! the crazy thing is i had the same problem in my Ford so I checked all the usual spots like the door seals and the brake light on the cab and they all felt dry. The thing that i noticed was the carpet was only wet on the flattest part of the floor board and I could feel a little up by the corners so maybe a shitty window install by the previous owner? i bought it used.

    Second, post a wider shot of your painted dash trim, that’s what I’m looking to do on my quicksand. Thanks :thumbsup:

    What in the world is going on there? It looks like I’m looking at LED lights on a casino ceiling!

    I figured it out!!!!

    So I bought this truck used and it had the body chip done to fit bigger tires by a shop in Utah. I’ll leave them out of this for now....

    Anyway they cut these nice holes in the firewall and that’s the water culprit. Here’s a picture of the plastic trim pulled back of the cut in the truck where water got in.

    Most of the moisture inside the truck is a result of tracking snow in on your boots. if you have carpets it will melt off, soak in and just build up over the winter. It’s xonstantly being melted and distributed through the truck by your floor vents. I have to take my Weathertech liners out every couple weeks and mott them out like an ice tray. Running the AC once the truck is up to temp helps dry out the cabin air and reduce moisture buildup.

    I keep a roll of paper towels in the truck and if I see any liquid at all on my floor mats when I get out for the day. I sop it up. Also have a pail of DampRid sitting behind the seat.

    I never heard about this condensation thing. Perhaps OP had his windshield replaced and they didn't sealed it correctly, that might be the problem.
