Recently noticed under my drivers side floor mat is pretty damp when I go to vaccum it. I do have a sunroof if that makes a difference or not. Would like to get this fixed before rust sets in..any help is appreciated!

When I removed the carpeting from mine it was damp under all of the carpet due to the padding material toyota put under it and it took it about a week to dry with it pulled from the car. Could just be retained moisture, use a heat gun or blow dryer on it if you can roll that section of carpet back. All you need to do is remove the kick panel trim, door sill and foot pad, then it will be free to be pulled up a little.

Not ruling out that it could be the heater core, but if you start to smell antifreeze when your pulling up the carpet it could be a leak there. However mine did not have a heater core leak and it was damp as well, just at some point it got wet and the carpet padding held the moisture.
