Argh, I noticed today there was a small ammount of water dripping inside the car on the passenger side. It was only 1/4" wide and about 5-6" long water mark right above the passenger side floor mat.
I assume my drain tube might be a bit clogged. Where exactly is the drain at and whats the best way to get to it? From the top or jack the car up or what?


EDIT: Nevermind, I found it and it is in a bit of a PITA location to get to. Think tomorrow I will make something from a wire hanger and see if I can make it worse. :D

Its under the accumulator on the firewall and a hair to the right. You will see a small grommet there. It is draining there pretty well too but I think with the high humidity we are having and since I usually have my window cracked open that it may have been too much at once and it couldnt drain fast enough. It did it once before a year ago during really high humidity so I hope thats it.
 
ill check so what all have you dont to your mark ?
im trying my damnest to get all the notches out so far i
-replace the blend door
- fix my passenger lockmech

Hey Krick. I have coil overs, DVD/NAV system and a tune. I also have drilled/slotted rotors and braided lines and some 245/50 tires... other then that its stock.
All the normal things that wear out have been fixed/replaced like all the front end bushings and joints, blend door, ballast etc etc.
I will be doing a full exhaust soon as well as all the braces they make for the suspension from SCP.
 
i found that if you take out the passanger seat and \check under the carpet u can see where/if there is a puddle of water sitting there !, I found that its not the AC is the screen under the windshield that seal is broken and i need to know how to fix it and go from there and ideas?
 
ive seen in high humidity conditions where condensation will form on the outside of the heater box and drip also, best bet is to get a light and break your back and look while its dripping

mine leaked, I removed the wiper cowl to expose the vent.
Then I used silicone to seal all the way around the vent.

Some have gone as far as digging out the old sealant (there is a lot)
but mine wasn't cracked real bad so I just covered the two small cracks and went on with life.

its a common 2nd gen issue
 


heres what mine looked like today after buy the goop at az for 3.75
 
That is a great picture OF the vent!
mine wasn't that bad it onlu had a small crack in the "goop".

Best way to repair is to remove the goop, remove and clean the vent then reseal

I copied the picture address from your gallery then used the image tag inside this post box.

As for cleaning that part..I'd scrape off what I could get off and use a scotchbrite pad to remove the rest
 
I went and checked outside cause it was raining and the goop really worked, the carpet was dry as a whistle. I have to check under the carpet when i go back outside.and ill keep u posted
