TLDR; water is coming from behind the black plate in the passenger footwell but ONLY when AC is on and after driving. Does NOT leak when just sitting parked with AC on, unless it is after you just drove - then it continues to leak for some time after you've parked.
I have a video but it is too large for the site. I'll attach screen grabs showing the area.
After two stays at the dealer with unsuccessful attempts to replicate water in the passenger footwell - car wash, hose over windshield, keep out in a rain storm - I decided to do my own investigation yesterday and this morning. Timeline and details below. No rain throughout all of this - sunny and dry.
8/4 545pm - pick up from dealer after a week of unsuccessful attempts to replicate issue. Reach entire arm through carpet bolt hole access to confirm dry and yes dry.
8/4 6pm - drive 5 miles home with AC at 72* fan speed 3. Reach under carpet and wet. I pull up carpet completely and dry up small amount of water with a rag.
8/4 8pm - car has been sitting in driveway for 2 hours. Dry. Drive around town WITHOUT AC for an hour. Come back home and dry.
8/5 730am - car has sat in driveway overnight. Dry.
8/5 830am - with carpet still pulled all the way back I run the AC and sit with a flashlight to watch for 30mins. Nothing. Bone dry.
8/5 9am - keeping carpet pulled back drive around the block. Within 30 seconds of driving drops of water begin dripping in the area shown in the pictures attached. I stay parked for 10mins and it continues to drip. It slows down after a while. Drive back home and starts to drip again while driving.
Car is back at the dealer to have them pull the black plate off and see what's happening back there. Fingers crossed we're getting somewhere.
