    Very wet carpet pass. side Solved

    In my case!
    I've been finding water dripping from behind the glove box.
    Soaking the floor mat and fogging my windows on the inside.
    The AC/heater box behind the glove box has a drain that goes through the firewall. You can see how it slopes down to a point on the inside.
    On the Engine compartment side it is hard to see the small rubber hose drain.
    It is a little elbow hose just under the AC lines by the exhaust manifold.
    Because of the elbow, I had to use a flexible rod to snake it .
    Once I got the rod through the water started draining right away.
    Just thought I would share.

    Probably saved yourself having to replace a blower motor in the next few months as well.
    The motor sits low in there, so any build up of water will drown it.

    If you have any doubts, it is easy to drop it out, give it a good dry out, and spray with WD40 or similar.

    Dry still, and the Blower motor still works fine

    I wish I found it sooner. It would have saved me some grief.
