I have a 2017 CX5 and the drivers seat has mysteriously been wet the last 24 hours and has been increasingly getting wetter. I did not spill anything, the windows and sunroof are closed because of the arctic temps we have been having. The roof is not wet so nothing is leaking from the sunroof and there is no water anywhere else. Any ideas on what this could be from? Is there some sort of water tube in the seat that can burst?

 

Welcome to the forum


That is an interesting happening?
There is no water container of any kind in the seat.
I looked at the diagram in ALLData of the sunroof drains and there is no way it could leak and if it were the sunroof, it would likely shown on the headliner?
IDK there is really nothing technically that should be causing the wetness.

 

The only thing I could think of is snow/ice falling onto the seat when opening the door. Otherwise a very cold seat can feel it's damp, even when it isn't.

 

Any smells?
I ask because "unwanted critters" can cause all sorts of issues in a vehicle.
And some only require a very small opening to make your vehicle their home.
Yes, my wallet knows this all too well.
