    What’s up TW!

    Need some help and wondering if any of you experienced same issue I have ?Did a search and didn’t see much. Washed my truck this morning and I noticed a decent amount (silver dollar size)of condensation on my front passenger window @ front most corer @ (door panel). I didn’t make much of it- maybe thought I had window slightly down or something. I hit it up with towel and about 30 min later it came back? WTF ! (See photos). My truck is kept in garage 24/7 and today was about 78 and sunny here in So Cal. I checked all windows and all had been in “up/ closed” position. Not really sure how this moisture is getting in? Obviously was from my wash . Has anyone else experienced this on 20/21 or any year ? I recall about water leak from 3rd brake light - this Not bad at all and would not call a leak. More of annoying/ strange for such a new truck.


    No accidentes/ truck is flawless . I had upgraded my speakers and installed sub and amp over the summer - this is the only time the door panel was removed . Yet- no issues with other doors . Not sure what gives ? I had windows tinted last November when I purchased. Not sure if I’m

    Being too anal- but it’s a 2020 and @ $43K this should not be happening. Was thinking I can wait for next service to bring up. But as you know- some dealers lack the attention to detail when comes to items like this .


    Maybe just a fluke / my luck since this only time I’ve noticed since I purchased my 2020 last November. I’ll keep eye on it for now . I’ll wait and see if anyone has had some problem.



    Thanks in advance! Gabe

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Silly question perhaps - did you have the windshield defroster on?
    Is the passenger side air outlet directed toward the window?
    I get condensation at times because the defrost setting also runs the A/C.

    I definitely notice this on mine as well... every time I wash it, condensation on that spot. I think this is simply water getting inside the door, which is normal, and then evaporating thru the path of least resistance (that location)

    One other thing to note - there are drain holes on the bottom of the door, on the inside near the door panel. Check to make sure there isn't take or anything blocking these. On my wife's car, they came from the dealer with the holes covered and the dealer did not remove prior to delivery
