I have seen several posts in this forum on water seepage/flooding inside the cabin and truck. This also ruins the interior and would toast all electronics which is there in trunk. I am lately(especially after the last two storms) seeing condensation on upper part of all windows and windshield. Note that, I had never parked my car in rain, I only drove in the rain and where ever I parked, I had good covered parking. My question is , did any one experience the flooding or seepage issue when its driven in rain?. I will check my trunk today and post again whether its dry or damp.

Water got in trunk first then interior while car was parked during rains. Car was not driven during rain or on wet roads. Likely cause is through rear doors, maybe the vapour seals. Electronics are down and the dealer has not been able to sort it out for several weeks!

+1 Sunroof seal. the drains gets clogged and the water seeps into the cabin or especially in the trunk. There has been plenty of threads and issues about this. Have it covered under warranty.
