2022 Lexus GX — footwell gets wet only after heavy rain

BoostCamper418Community StarterMay 18, 20262022 Lexus GX 460Boston
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? Mileage is about 67,000.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Move a coil or plug on the 2022 Lexus GX if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “footwell gets wet only after heavy rain,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2022 Lexus GX, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. This is from a 2022 Lexus GX in Boston. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. Not interested in a five-hour wait for a shrug.
