    07 Equinox Leaking on BOTH floorboards

    I see that you poured water down the sun roof drains in the front. Did the water actually hit the ground through the drain tubes on both sides? If so, then you truly eliminated that aspect. That is unless the tube didn't stay attached.

    2018 NG rust bubbling on nose under paint

    I found the pics under different thread. Apparently you have 2 threads going on the same issue one for 2018 and one for 2019 Equinox. Also, I have no paint issues so the dealerships I use in Northern VA shouldn't be of interest to you.

    2018 NG rust bubbling on nose under paint

    How about a picture of the corrosion. "Rust through" means a hole caused by corrosion, the corrosion doesn't need to be rust.

    07 Equinox Leaking on BOTH floorboards

    Glad you got the drains working. Open the front doors and clean out leaves etc at the bottom, it might be diverting the water inside. Use toilet paper to detect where the water is coming from; lay it gently anywhere there might be a source.
