Anyone experienced water in the front driver side floor ? it happened twice sofar on my 15 denali yukon XL i see rain water in the weather tech floor liner. no idea yet where this is might be coming from.

Is your headliner wet?

Most likely the door Jam unless on your model the heater core is on that side. I’ve never heard of water coming in through the grommets in the firewall but it’s an easy check. How often does this happen? Every time it rains? Heavy rain?

No I checked it because I thought it might be the sunroof but it’s not. I only see water on the front floor board. I have a weather tech floor liner and I lifted it up and the carpet is soaking wet underneath!!! No idea where is this dripping from but I looked again this morning and i saw few drops of water on the plastic trim near the emergency brake pedal leads me to believe its coming from above

It happened three times so far in the past two weeks ! So every time it rains doesn’t matter how heavy it is

I'd be madder than a wet hen

Is it still under warranty? If not check the seal around the firewall and under the cowl. Take a pitcher of water or a hose and add water from outside the door first then the cowl you can put a dry paper towel down to check each time. Better yet have someone else while you’re under the dash with a flashlight. Don’t write off the sunroof water can run to the A pillar and down behind the dash without staining the headliner.

My bet is the shark fin then dripping down the A pillar.

Drain lines for sunroof or drain lines for AC. I would check both.

Urban myth! My hens are always out in the rain.

Forgot the shark fin bet you’re right. Try pourings little water around it

Shark fin!!! Been there.

Check the A pillar from the sunroof. Levels/pine needles get in there.

Or check the door jam. There is typically a rubber seal the covers up the wires from the vehicle into the door...sometimes that comes out and leaks.

Has this happen in my 2005 Tahoe and my 2011 avalanche. Floor board would be soaked.

hello All, just to share with you the final fix and the root cause. after the vehicle sat in the dealership they replaced the sunroof seal ... they said its bad and its causing the problem. so they replaced it and charged me >$200 and took the vehicle drove into a car wash and boom water started dripping down on the driver side floor pan !!!!!!

Drove back to the dealership and they did further check and they found the issue is under the glass on the upper left corner !!!!! water somehow sipping under the glass into a crack dripping down the A pillar down to the floor pan ! of course its MFG flaw ...thank you GM !!!!! makes you wonder why everyone is buying a Toyota ha

So they hired a glass company to come remove the glass in order to fix it while in the process of installing it they a cracked it so i end up filing an insurance claim to cover their mess ! NO I AM NOT HAPPY but at least i have no more water in my vehicle because water is a destroyer ... terrible experience... anyhow here is a link of a related if not the same issue on a 2015 DENALI on youtube showing a water leak due to a crack in the body

Wait! You had to file an insurance because of their mistake?

Yea bcz they warned me before that the windshield might crack in the process !!!! I know it’s BS but what can I do I need my vehicle back

 

[Tahoe14]

They should reimburse you for the sunroof seal as the diagnosis was incorrect.

 

[dbbd1]

That is a whole wagon load of BS!
It's like saying "we might scratch your paint changing your oil but it won't be our fault!"

At the very least, yes, get your money back for the first repair. Then, I'd start talking to GM about that dealer. Then, I'd find another dealer for future work.

And, maybe mention the BBB to them, the bastidges.

I had that with my rear doors and a thread here suggested I check the plug....and mine was clogged. No more rain in my doors now but I still have to replace a speaker
