If you have a sunroof sometimes they say it could be the drain tube for the sunroof. Or if you ever ran something through the firewall and didn't put the grommet back you could get water on the driver side floor pan as well. Has your visor area ever been wet or stained? That would tell you it's the antenna. Others might chimed in and mention the third brake light also has been an issue. I've never had that problem myself.

My 17 had a leak on drivers side only when vehicle would sit a certain angles.

Ended up being the sunroof drain tube where it went through the firewall came disconnected.

Took pictures with me that helped dealer a lot also have weather tech mats so you could see the drop and puddle.

Hope you got/get yours fixed

Soaked mats both front and rear ... I tipped the shark-fin to the side and water ran out between the gasket and the roof.  The gasket has a small gap at the rear where anything can run in.  Since my '14 Sierra is out of warrantee, I'll just clean around the gasket and use some clear sealant around it.  Hope this is the only leak ... durned mats and paddings are saturated ...

Make sure you get it noted at the dealer though.   This is a known issue.  GM bought my '17 back.  Water destroyed my electrical.  I've heard of some having an issue for the water over a year after the leak was fixed (wires corroded).   Doesn't hurt to get it noted.   Plus, I think in '14 they still had the 10 year corrosion warrantee.  this should be covered under that.

Keep in mind of the mold issue if you take it back to the dealer and you mentioned the mold lssue.   Not  only electrical corrosion issue they seem to move a hell of a lot faster because of a health-related issue which could stem to extremely large lawsuits.

This antenna leaking thing is ridiculous stupid, Beyond stupid. This has been ongoing since they put the stupid Fins Up on the Roof. They're well aware of it they extended my warranty on it until I ended up fixing it myself, they couldn't fix it or didn't know what to do to fix it.

I picked up an new 2019 Silverado 2500 a week ago this past Friday.  The next day I went to put my Weather Tech Mats in and notice the drivers side carpeting was wet.  Took it back to the dealer.  They dried it out but could not duplicate the issue. They did pull up a service bulletin for the sun roof drains and performed the service in the bulletin.  I got it back on Thursday, drove it through a touchless wash on my way home from work on Friday.  I parked it until Sunday Morning and when I checked the carpet was wet along the sills along both the front and rear doors.  There was moisture on the bottom of the Weather Techs.  No sign of any water on the headliner.   Very frustrated.

Welcome to the site.

 

I would check with them to see exactly what they did, sounds like all 4 drain points are disconnected.

 

I would also have them check the 3rd brake light for leaks.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔

      It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?

      Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.

      2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade.

      By Thestonedone · Posted

      Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
