    I'm having an issue where whenever it rains the passenger backseat gets wet, even when it hasn't moved. The water isn't dripping in, it's literally coming up from under the seat. I checked the spare tire area, everything was dry. Any ideas?

    the water is coming up from under the seat and wetting the seat top?
    is the floor wet?

    There's no sources of water inside the cabin, under the rear seat. The battery pack is back there.

    Take a gallon of water and pour it along the top edge of the rear window and see if it leaks in from there.

    Has anyone found the fix for this? I have the same issue. There is no visible leak anywhere and when it rains, especially for a while, the passenger side backseat becomes wet. You can see the water marks in white in the photo.
