Water dripping under the glove box - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Busybee · 09-12-2023, 06:02 AM

Hi guys,
Searched the forum and found some advice regarding this issue back in 2014 and around.
Today, I increased the went level and realized that water dripped on the floor mat. Thanks god it got limited to the mat nothing on the floor. I took out the glove box and it was clearly dripping from the roundish black unit below and a little behind the glove box. When I increase the air flow (A/C on or off) dripping is a lot. On the very low level there is nothing.

It’s dripping from a few places from the roundish black plastic part.
Car is completely stock and nothing has been wired through the firewall in this side. Only DRL on the driver side which I don’t thing is the case here.

Will try what BRZeph posted before (below). Should I start with this or try something else?

Thanks

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.”

My guess the drain for the cowling is stopped up. I don't think it's condensate only.

AC drain hose showed its generous hospitality to some buggy friends. Fixed. Moving that styrofoam was the hardest
