Hi guys, has anyone experienced this?

My drivers carpet is damp I’ve taken off the door trim to access underneath the carpet.

I am unable to duplicate the moisture.

It’s making a puddle quickly underneath the cruiser while on.

Any ideas? Or should I just plan on taking it in?
 
Did you clear out the A/C condenser drain? There is a tube that can get clogged by spider nests/other bugs. This allows the drain to back-up and start dripping on the floor.

No, do you know where it is?
 
I don't know specifically, but usually you can find the tube from under the vehicle. Look for a tube sticking out of the fire-wall on either side of the frame. Probably looks like a sunroof drain. Unfortunately, I don't think it is easily accessible from inside the vehicle. It is behind/under the condenser.
 
Hmmm.......if the A/C drain is dripping under the cruiser when running, that drain may not be clogged. I think that A/C drain clogs usually lead to leaks on the passenger side. I wonder if the sun roof drain on the driver's side is clogged, leading to the wet carpet over there. Been in rain or a car wash lately? Run a search on both sun roof drain and A/C drain and you'll get some ideas on where to look. Wet carpet in the front is a commonly reported issue on MUD.
 
Ugh, I should have read a little more carefully... Driver-side. Yes, most likely a sunroof drain.
There should not be a leak anywhere in any 200-Series yet unless the sunroof is clogged or there is a massive rust hole somewhere.
 
What about the windshield drain that is below the wipers? I've noticed when washing the car that there must a drain on the driver side that leads somewhere behind the tire.
 
Pour a glass of water below the windshield wiper in the plastic shroud that looks like a vent. Mine drains to behind the mudflap. There must be a drain tube somewhere in there.
 
I'm not sure if it's the same on 200's but on 80 series the sunroof drains are visible from above and commonly cleared out with weed whacker string. Worth a shot.
 
Fixed.
