2024 Acura MDX — footwell gets wet only after heavy rain

HybridLearnerCommunity StarterJun 12, 20262024 Acura MDX Type SNationwide
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 am in Nationwide.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Acura MDX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Same neighborhood, different next step: A second data point from another 2024 Acura MDX owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Acura MDX in Nationwide, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. 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. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I parked the 2024 Acura MDX and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

No need to make it theatrical. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

This is from a 2024 Acura MDX in Nationwide. Did the worksheet show tax yet? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2024 Acura MDX first. I'll update if anything new shows up.
