Update on this?

Do you have the sunroof?

If so, seals on the sunroof are known as a wet seal. Water leaks in through the sunroof while its closed (this is normal) and goes into drain channels. The drains then go to the A/C pillars and then drain out of the truck. The drains in the A/C pillars are rubber hoses that sometimes get clogged or disconnected which causes water to leak into the truck.

This happened on my 2016 Lariat. We noticed the floorboard was wet. Glove box had water in it and then the side vent (open the door and pull the panel off) there was some minor rust showing.

Have the dealer check the drain channels if they are clogged or connected.

I refuse to accept that the moon roof leak is "normal" The channels and drains are there as a back up and to get rid of the water if you leave the roof open. It's not normal to have water inside your vehicle.

I agree. The amount of water that would pour in on my Lariat when it was raining I would say was about 1 cup per min.
Went to 2 different dealers about it and they all came back and told me the same "Its known as a wet seal and is operating as intended"

I'm having the exact same problem in the exact same spot.

Don’t wait till an oil change to get this situation remedied. You are not suppose to have water in your truck unless you just drove through a stream deeper than the the bottom of your doors. Mold on and in your mats and carpets is bad and hard to get rid of. I would definitely be at my dealers for an appointment ASAP. My 18 does not have any leaks so far but if it ever, it will be at the dealer pronto! Good luck my friend I hope it’s a simple fix.
