Moisture in front frunk

[Randy-12]

My first winter with my model 3

During working hours I park outside (12 hours a day) the I drive home and park indoors in a heated (12-15 deg) garage.

For the first time in a month I popped the front frunk to add windshield washer fluid and I noticed the the carpet I put in was moist. I took the carpet out and saw moisture all over the bottom of the basin and the tow eye hook. I had to dry it all off.

Is this normal for the car?

Easy for snow to melt and get in there I have found.
I never keep anything in there accept grocery bags for that reason .

I do the same. Never had any moisture in the frunk. Maybe a stupid question, but was it properly closed?

My 2018 has never been in a garage, and I only water in my frunk once a few years ago.
I never did find out what caused it. I have to believe there was something stuck under the seal that one time, I don’t know.
It shouldn’t leak though.

I got water in my 3's frunk everytime I drove in heavy rain.

I’ve already had the service look at last summer. All normal they said when I got water after a heavy rain.

So it might be from the rain we’ve had. I’ll need to keep a closer eye on it.

I’ve never had a drop in there. Is your hood flush with both fenders and the front bumper cover? If it’s sitting slightly high you can lower it a bit with the 2 adjusters plastic screw type adjusters. Check the rubber seal that surrounds the tub and make sure it properly installed and looks uniform all around. Also check the surface on the hood underside where the seal makes contact for any irregularities.

Frunk is properly closed, everything is flush.
I'm not sure that the seal on the frunk basin is touching the underside of the hood.
I may get some rubber and add to the top of the seal to make it higher.

Everytime ?
That doesn’t sounds right. What did you do about that.
Do you still have a Tesla ?

I just drilled a small hole in the trunk to let the water drain out.
