    Where would I find the A/C drain?

  • Anonymous Jul 19, 2011

    The water isn't coming from the front of the car...it's not wet on the drivers side at all. Do i need to take the middle cover thing off. It seemed to be a little wet under it. I think the water is coming from the middle of the car.

    hlfm...We carefully pulled the headliner down. Carefully. It Velcros in a few places, just enough to see the drain. Its just on the other side of the headliner. The sunroof drains are on either side of the front of the sunroof its a very small hole leading out to the front of the car. My husband pulled it down while I used some ATV (purchased at auto parts store) sealant and then I wrapped it in electrical tape to hold it in place. Probably not the best permanent solution, but it has rained hard several times and we have no more water in the car! Good Luck and I hope this helps!!!

    hlfm-- We carefully pulled down the headliner and the drains are just on the other side of it. The drains are on the front corners of the sunroof. My husband pulled it down and I was able to get my hands in there. I put it back together, squeezed some ATV sealant on it and wrapped electrical tape around it to keep it together while it dried. We have had several hard rains and haven't had any leaks so far. Hope this helps and good luck!

    hlfm--If it isn't detached it could be a clog. We took a trigger style air hose attachment and shot air down it first. It takes two people to check it this way, the air should be coming out under the car behind the front wheel well. If it isn't connected the air came out of the front of the headliner by the top of the windshield. You can also check it by pouring a small amount of water then seeing if it comes out under the car. We used this method to check our handy work. :)

    hlfm-- I would suggest trying a speaker wire to run down it if it is a clog and not a detachment. Flexible enough to bend but, won't poke a hole in anything.

Thats also where the heater core is located,, check the hoses that go to it, you have a inlet and return,, with any luck thats the problem, if not you may need a heater core repair,, check the radiator to see if the fluid has dropped way down

1997 Nissan Sentra when it rains water leaks in on the passenger floor somehow behind the dash Maybe

Don A has an excellent answer, but if you have a sunroof, that is more likely the reason. The pipe runs down between the door pillar and the windshield and there is often a join there which can part. Be careful with compressed air as it can blow joints apart.

2008 volvo s60 water on passenger floorboard

Good luck on this one. You have a notorious break in your volvo heater core. That is a real pain if you do it yourself. Look up the procedure on youtube before you attempt to replace it.

Can anyone pass on some advice concerning my 2008 Highlander leaks when it rains. I recently noticed that whenever it rains the carpet on the driver side gets soaked. I took it to the dealer and they...

Had similar on 02 Highlander. Source was leak from around window trim (rust) and roof racks connector entering and going down the windshield post behind the trim. Gently remove interior plastic trim piece to the left of the windshield to investigate any water coming down behind there. Find source, disassemble whatever is required and use something like SupraExpert to seal (not just cheap silicone).

Where is the sunroof drain located on 2002 monte carlo ss and how do i unclog it?

Water leaks are fun to trace out. the drain holes and tubes can be seen with roof open and can be unplugged with compressed air . but usually the headliner is soaked and leaks on to seats the windshield will leak on to passenger floor. remove glove box and check for wetness along "A" pillar.

I have a Mazda B2500 (2000). Everytime it rains the drivers side floorboard gets soaked. There is no dripping or water running down the door. What could this be?

You could have a windshield that is leaking water. Often this water will trickle down from the bottom/inside of the glass and then down the firewall, under the carpet or floor mat, and to the floor. The way I usually hunt for these is to remove the floor mat or carpet then get a flashlight and lay down in the cab so you can see under the dash area while someone sprays water on the vehicle with a garden hose. Often the leak will show up as a trickle that you can then backtrack to it's source. Another spot to look for is at the cowl in front of the windshield where air for the heater and a/c is pulled into the passenger compartment. The water drain holes in this area can plug up and allow water to overflow into the passenger compartment. Good luck, hope this helps!

Leak under glove compartment in 08 suzuki forenza. leaks on passenger's feet and wets entire passenger side floor mats.

Sounds like your air conditioner drain is stopped up. Shouldn't this vehicle still be under warranty?

Floor mats soaked on passenger floor

IF you are leaking from the sunroof in the front passenger side, you can remove the A-pillar cover next to the windshield (right side from inside of car) with a hex wretch, which is under the little plastic cover) and make sure the tube connecting the sunroof rain drain on top is not kinked or broken or not connected. Simply pour some water slowly down the drain on top with the sunroof open to test it. My was "somehow"kinked and I was able to fix it. There is also a NHTSA service bulletin #SI-B51-30-08 for 2003 BMW X5. If the tubing is not the problem, I would call BMW dealer and see if they fix the problem because of the "recall". Good Luck!

My 1996 tahoe is leaking water ,carpets are wet

Statistacally--most leaks come from sunroofs and yes they can be one side or the other. Happens from clogged drains. Sunroof drains run across the headliner and down the a-pillar. you can have them cleaned and checked. This is all assuming you have a sunroof. Hope I helped. Thanks.
