    I have Husky floor liners in my 2009 Base Tacoma and noticed the carpet is always wet under both liners. Anyone experiencing this ??

    Heated or semi heated garage?

    Is your cold truck being parked in a warm garage overnight? Condensation developing?

    I had to get rid of my WT mats for this reason.

    Seems like condensation, no coolant smell - just water under the plastic mats.

    Check all your weather stripping around the doors and make sure none of it's loose. I'm not sure if there's any under the hood but I had leak before on a car that would leave my floor board soaked because the weather stripping on the firewall that meets the hood was off.

    Have you had the windshield replaced recently? A lot of leak threads here have a bad windshield seal.

    The floor is wet on both sides in the center of the floor, all the rubber plugs are in place and in good shape. Weatherstripping is all good.

    any rust where the rubber strips on the roof hit the windshield? under the rubber strips? there is a seam seal in that area, don't ask me how I know....
    if it's under the carpets on both sides I suggest you remove the handles and a-pillars on both sides and see what happens next time it rains or do a hose test around the top of the windshield on both sides. water can run down inside the a-pillars, behind those kick panels and under the carpet

    There is more than one service bulletin that addresses the leaking complaints. Do a search here and find numerous threads about this with links to the bulletins complete with pictures. It’s really just been a huge pain in the ass for years.
