Default Driver's and passenger side floor wet during car wash

I just got this 07 GX470. I had it shipped here on the back of a truck, he drove through some snow storms apparently.

First thing I did was take it to a carwash. When I get to the dryer part (big blower motors at the end of the wash), my feet and my passenger's toes became soaked. I shined a light up under the dash and couldn't see anything wet. Everything else in the car appears dry as far as I can tell.

It's in the 40s here currently.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.

Check the sunroof drain tubes to see if they're blocked, or came loose.

+1 on sunroof drain tubes. Most common problem on ANYTHING this new that has interior leaks. No sunroofs are water tight, and they all leak a little. If the water has no place to go, it will flow over and run down the interior of the car

Agree on the drain tubes. Water overflows in the sunroof and flows down the A-pillar and down on the floor boards. Typically compressed air clears them out.
