Default Wet drivers side floor mats, front and back.

Any suggestions what could be causing the mats to get wet? (Only on the driver's side).

It was the moonroof drain on mine. I put liquid dish soap on a clothes line and shoved it all the way through it that way. It took forever for the floor to dry out and I had to wipe every surface to clean the mold.

One drain tube on each corner of the roof channel for a total of 4. Two drain near the bottom of the fenders the other two go through grommets at the rear quarter panels.

Default Wet floor under mats on drivers side

Again, thank you for your advice.
Are you saying that the 4 drains are located in the moonroof and to get to them I have to open the moonroof?

Right. They are a bit hidden but pour water slowly into each corner (obviously park the car so gravity does its thing) you should see water pour out under the car.
