wet driver floor board

[kosoku]

2019 Laramie. I was vacuuming the interior when I noticed the driver side carpet was damp. I pulled up the carpet to find the carpet bed was soaked (pulled that out and have it hanging on a branch).
No obvious evidence to trace the leak from. No smell of mold or mildew so hasn't been too long.
The black plastic piece seem to have water from underneath it too but I currently don't have time to pull that up.
Has anyone else experience this before? Hoping for someone with experience on this (fingers crossed)

I’ve seen a few people post that there was a bad pinch weld behind the rubber door seal gasket that allows water to enter that area. May be a place to check

when you say rubber door seal gasket" - I'm assuming you're referring to the seal on the body?

I am. On the front edge. You actually have it photographed above

Where it runs down beside the dash

Behind that seal, people have reported a leak that will fill the floor board. Some have fixed it on their own using RTV

Remove this seal (larger arrow)?

Yep, some owners have reported that a weld behind that rubber gasket is allowing water to enter their floor boards. Pull that seal back, run water onto your cowling beneath the windshield, and see if water starts leaking along that seam.

There’s a thread on this site somewhere that has a photo of the seam leak behind that gasket. It should help you find the location. Not saying that’s going to be your issue, but it’s one you can check easily before you head to the dealer.

I've only got 10k on the Laramie and it is under warranty. I'll set it up!
