Sill Plates- Might want to pop them off and take a look if you have a spill

[PA Lightning]

Bad luck last week. Had two liquid leaks on passenger side floor liner. First one was from a pump sprayer. Even though I have the mud mats some of the liquid looked like it may have leaked under the sill plate. Popped off the sill plate. There is a wire chase there that was full of fluid.

By the time the soda can exploded a few days later I was a pro at removing the liquid.

Based on all of the electronics in the truck, I thought it would be a good idea to remove the liquid and dry it out.

I have the Pro model with the vinyl flooring and I do not know if the same thing would happen with the trims that have carpet.

Based on another thread here about corrosion in these sill channels, I sprayed the insides of mine with Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protectant I had left over from coating the underbody.

Did you by chance take pictures? Removal & sill trough?

What worries me is the electronics below one of the cup holders and condensation from a cold drink...what could go wrong?
