Water Leak inside passenger side floorboard

[AtlasMick]

**Update**

Checked everything after a hard rain and the amp cables going through the port in the firewall were soaked. I really couldn't find anywhere else rain may have been coming from. There is quite a bit of corrosion around the seals on the door and the chassis where the door meets but it doesn't look like that is where water is coming from. Those having the same problem, if you have any additional things being sent through that hole this may be causing the issue.

How could the tube or ac box even get clogged? Isn't this why we have a filter?

I'd love to just bring this somewhere since it seems like something is defective but the last thing I need is a dealer charging me diagnostic fees and an hour's labor saying its not a warranty issue.

filter is for the air inside the car, the tube gets clogged because dirt and dust get kicked up into the tube from outside.

kinda like how a spout works for a liquor bottle as fuid goes out air goes in. tar, dust ect gets sucked in and lines the inside of that tube. eventually it gets clogged

I'm not sure thats what is happening with mine. Dirt is going up a 12+ inch tube, which is apparently clear, and clogging inside the air box? I just have a hard time believing that's possible. And if it is, what a shitty design.

Should have drained into the engine bay like the Imprezas do...

A lot of times it's insects that crawl up there and die... I am not even joking.

Imrac, you really are not joking. I pulled the rubber tube out today and flushed it out. Nasty spider body parts shot out.

Will report back if leaks continue, but this should do it. Gross. Now I feel like putting some nylon mesh over the bottom of the tube.

Thanks for the pics and info! I noticed a good amount of water on my floormat on Sunday but figured I just spilled my water on it. I had a lot more water today, so I pulled up the carpet and everything was dry...

As soon as I pulled the tube off of the A/C box I got a ton of water all over the place. Oops... I blew out the hose and put it back together. Now I have to wait for the floor to dry up.

Little tip to get rid of the dampness and musty smell afterward, go to home depot and get a tub of damp rid and drop it in the passenger side makes a world of difference with vehicles after a water issue, and gives mold no reason to "stay"

Just got back from the dealer they charged me $170 (including tax) to clean the mesh part of the evap system that was clogged by spider web, but damn there was to much water in the carpet! It look like someone did an Ice Bucket challenged inside.

Stupid question here: Do I pour this thing on the carpet or just open the container and leave?

Oh god no don't dump it out, it's not a stupid question, it's essentially a desiccant, so you open the little seal and container and place the container inside the car. The bottom separate containter will fill up with water like a dehumidifier. Just follow the instructions, and put it in the car over night and for a couple days being careful not to leave the doors or windows open for a long time. Trust me it works wonders

Get the 4 pound tub:

Have the same problem right now and I want to pull the Ac tube to check, do you mind taking a picture and showing me so I have an idea?

Look in the passenger footwell. Follow the carpet up towards under the dash until you find the edge. Near the edge, on the right side (i.e, on the side of the carpet near the door, not the center console), there is a little black plastic screw cap. Unscrew it and pull the carpet back. You'll see some white sytrofoam looking stuff, move that out of the way carefully. This exposes the AC drain hose. Pull it out of the floor, follow it up under the dash to the other end and pull it off. Take it outside, blow through it hard, and then reassemble.

If you can't get it, I'll make a video tomorrow.

[DocWalt]

Yep, that's all you need to do! I literally just had this issue again. No idea what's clogging it, but it's annoying.
