2020 GMC Yukon — footwell gets wet only after heavy rain

HybridLearnerCommunity StarterSep 1, 20262020 GMC Yukon DenaliMiami
2020 GMC Yukon Denali, about 60,000 miles. The car stays dry in normal rain but after a long storm one front footwell gets damp. Door seal looks okay. What drain/seam tests would you do before tearing the interior apart?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2020 GMC Yukon in Miami, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “footwell gets wet only after heavy rain,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 GMC Yukon before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2020 GMC Yukon in Miami with 60,000 miles. When does it actually happen? This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 GMC Yukon before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I'll update if anything new shows up.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. A second data point from another 2020 GMC Yukon owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Fair point. Counterpoint: If it still isn't clear on the 2020 GMC Yukon, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd push back a little: If it still isn't clear on the 2020 GMC Yukon, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. That's the whole play. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
