Water leak on passenger floorboard

Hey y’all. I have a 2016 tacoma (no sunroof) and just noticed there was a leak on the passenger’s side floorboard. It’s not wet on the top/side/or under the seat, just the middle of the carpet. Wonder if anyone had the same experience.

 

It is most likely coming in through your third brake light or the fresh air vent in front of your windshield

Another possibility could be the AC drain line.

 

Sunroof vent clogged

 

Read it again chief

 

Do you have a roof rack? I know on very heavy rain storms I've seen an occasional drip from the passenger grab handle that I assume is coming from the mounting holes of my OEM roof rack. I need to get in there soon and seal it.

I've already had the third brake light seal replaced so I don't think the water is coming from that.

 

all good points
1. 3rd brake light
2. A/C drain
3. roof racks

Either way, get on it, the 3rd brake light cleanups have been nasty on some occasions. If it's been leaking for a while, even if you haven't noticed until now, you could have a mold issue. Well,,,, any leak can cause this really.

 

I had this same leak. It was coming from the seam in the body/firewall that's underneath the carpet at the back-right of footwell. I had to take the carpet and insulation out, and look behind the electrical hub that's down there. I sealed it up with silicon sealant. Hopefully this is not your problem hahaha

 

my leak was coming from a seam in the evaporator box. but i have also seen leaks due to clogged drain lines and clogged hvac intakes.

 

Most likely related to the A/C condensate drain. Check that it is not clogged. If the drain is clear, then you have a leak in the evaporator box.

 

A little compressed air up the ac hose. Check for kinks.

 

might want to blow it from the other side. you don't want to blow debris back into the evaporator box.

 

This was also my issue. Cracked evap box.

 

mine didn't have a crack in it, just seemed to sweat a lot. they patched it up with sealant at the dealership.

 

Yeah, same here.
