Some Acura MDX owners report experiencing leaks in the front passenger carpet due to several common issues. These include clogged sunroof drains, which can lead to water pooling under the passenger floor mat and from the driver's side panel. Additionally, a leaking front windshield seal has been noted as a potential source of the problem. Some owners have identified leaks around the A-pillar and windshield as another cause of water entering the front carpets. Faulty firewall caulking on the driver's side has also been reported to allow water intrusion. To pinpoint the exact source of the leak, some owners recommend conducting a high-pressure car wash test or performing a thorough inspection by removing panels near the windshield and wipers to observe water entry points. Addressing these issues promptly is essential to prevent further damage.
