2021 Honda CR-V — footwell gets wet only after heavy rain

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? I would rather test this logically than replace parts.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2021 Honda CR-V owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2021 Honda CR-V first. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2021 Honda CR-V in Los Angeles, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “v — footwell gets wet only after,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
