I know the panoramic roof has a history of leaking. Haven’t felt anything after a hard rain but I get a musty cabin odor after is rains. Last for 1-2 days then resolves. Anyone have similar experiences? Don’t want it to get worse and would be proactive if there is a fix. Thanks

What year is the truck? Could be a roof leak or something else. But evaporator drains on many ‘19s had leaks from drain into the front passenger floorboard area, close to the firewall. Worth mentioning.

This was solved a few threads ago. Solution was to remove the pansy from the passenger seat whom keeps *****(urinating) themselves each time you send it! Ha

It rained by me a couple of days ago. My 2017 also has a musty odor for a day or two. I lifted the sill plates and shoved my hand under the carpet. didn't feel anything damp/wet. Does anybody know what would cause this?

Man I figured it out. I finally realized it was me that smelled like crap when I got wet running to the truck. After moving up my monthly shower schedule problem solved, good luck!

Never dealt with it...but....heater core leaks into the passenger floor board...is it wet? If not check behind the rear seat where the cabin vents are. Also unless I'm mistake(very possible) that moon roof drain is the usual suspect.
