981 Cayman Sodden/Wet Passenger Footwell

[engineermk]

I have a 2014 Cayman S owned from new with a full Porsche history. For the last two months I've noticed the interior has excessive amounts of condensation after its stood overnight. A look inside today revealed the passenger foot well carpet is soaking wet (and probably has been for a couple of months).

Are there any known issues with water ingress on the 981? I had quick search here but couldn't find any relevant posts.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes, the drains will be blocked! I assume the car lives outside, and close to trees? I'm not 100% sure where the drains are at the front, but if you lift the plastic cover to expose the battery etc, and look around the scuttle panel beneath the screen pillars, the are somewhere in that area think.
You should really remove the passenger seat and lift the carpet, because some of the electrics are under the carpet and you can suffer major problems! Make sure you remove any excess water, and keep the carpet propped up and out of the way. We put a de-humidifier in mine, and incredibly it "sucked" out all the remaining water over about 3 or 4 days, remember to empty the container in the de-humidifier!

Yes the car lives outside... looks like its time to find the drains, unblock them and get a dehumidifier

thanks for the advice

So I've had a quick look this morning, after lifting off the plastic panel I can see the drain pipes in the scuttle area... can anyone point me in the right direction with an image or link (i've searched the internet without success).
