2018 sr5 premium. Noticed some water on drivers side floor board and damp door panel lately with the good old mildew smell... and insight on where it's coming from?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

My searching so far says a good chance the sunrrof drain is clogged...

Most probably the sunroof drains. Clean them and then see.

Is the headliner damp around any part of the sunroof?
