Driver's side floor soaked
The driver's side floor in my 2013 Cx5 is completely soaked. I can't figure out why. I placed a baking pan on the floor in hopes that it would show me if the water was coming off the dash. The pan was dry after a good day of rain. Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes. It has a sunroof. I have been up there to see if it is sealing tight and it seems to be tight. The area inside the sunroof is/was completely dry.
It's winter time here, so the sunroof has been closed for months.
The car has the original windshield.

Thank you! I am going to get back up there later today, weather permitting, and take another look. From reading some of the other posts on this subject, it appears I may need to get some compressed air to blow out the tubes.
With the sunroof fully open the area underneath is bone dry. So I think the leak may be the seal around the windshield.
Going to wait for a warmer day to apply some sealer around the windshield.

Also, regarding the sunroof, while the rubber seal may appear to be snug, over the 6 or 7 years, tiny debris gets stuck to the rubber, leaving tiny spaces for water to creep in. Solution: Thoughly clean the rubber seal with a rubber cleaner or even leather cleaner. That solved my problem with a similar aged vehicle.

I will try your suggestion.
