Question Little Moisture on Drivers side mat

Something strange on 2016 Chevy Express 15 Pass LT 3500. I noticed a little moisture under edge halfway up under the mat. Not much, but wondering why ? No leaks, not antifreeze either.. Just a quarter to half dollar size moisture under lip of mat halfway underneath up on right edge. Nothing else seems to have moisture on it under the mat. It has had the mat removed and area dry. Drive vehicle for a while then the moisture under the mat. No holes it seems.. Got me puzzled.. Any ideas ?

Thank you
Kenny

I was just out cleaning mine, and looked in to what might be going on with yours. And sorry. Nothing comes to mind.

when the drivers side mat is in, it will be half way down on edge. If you leave the mat down it will draw more condensation. It is water " moisture " with no smell. Nothing seen dripping on outside. Even ran heater through top vents thinking it might be something from bottom vents.. Darnest thing ever. Can't find out anything on internet either. Appreciate it
Thank you
Kenny

My van is a passenger model as well, and it has rubber throughout.

Anyway, your van should be under warranty. Take it to GM.

Maybe. Take a cruise bare footed and see if you feel anything. My guess is that if there is a breeze, it'll be hot air.

I would still try. In my experience, people are usually pretty understanding about this.

If not then take your garden hose and douse the roof of the van for a while. Remove the trim panel on the left side and the flooring should come up fairly easily. There's nothing holding it down. See if you can track down the point of entry. Sometimes there's gaps in the windshield sealing, and water takes very unexpected paths.
