Post-carwash leak onto driver side floorboard
This just happened for the first time....my windshield washer fluid light also goes off and on when the car turns or tilts - i just had a service done, so it "should be" filled. Are the two related? Any thoughts?

Well, I would start with filling the Windshield Washer Fluid and not assuming its been done. I would also clear the drains in the Sunroof area with a long 12'+ piece of weed wacker line. If it's clogged you can get the leak you describe.

There's also the A/C condensate drain to think about, but I believe it exits the floor on the passenger side.

Its more than likely the gutter system for the sunroof.. I am assuming you have 1. If you open it and look in the front corners you will see holes, spray som water in them, its supposed to come out by the front tires. The tubing go3t clogged or disconnected some where. You can try blowing it out with air, but be careful, it's just plastic tubing, IDK on thes how many connections there are.

Yeah, if you use air or the weed-wacker line, be gentle. Popping a hose off takes the repair into a whole other class of pain & annoyance (much of the interior has to be removed to gain access)

I had my windshield changed 3 times. In the past 4 years. Thank God for glass coverage and every time I had blame the installers. Till this week that I had changed at a different shoo and different installer. What are the odds this guy ****ing this installation up. Smh! I'm going to pay attention to the hoses.
