| Description of the problem | Before my 2013 rav4 limited was even 2 years old, i discovered an indoor swimming pool on my passenger floor. My dealership claims that my rav4 had a clogged sunroof drainage tube, but when i took it to another dealership we found all evidence to the contrary. The service manager removed two pieces of trim: one that sits directly beneath the a-pillar (where the dealership claims the water travelled) and another that sits back underneath my dash and glove box. Both trim pieces had padding (just like the carpet padding) on the back side. The padding beneath the a-pillar was bone dry. The padding underneath the dash was damp. Please explain to me how water traveling down the a-pillar managed to make a 90 |
