Cool Re: Water leak passenger compartment

Put a few towels on the floor, popped hood, removed minor debris from vent screen below wipers and then had to go. Sloshing continued until all water was soaked into towels. Speakers cut out. Hope when it dries out all will be well.

I assume there is more debris below that screen preventing the water from draining out under the car (BTW, when I bought car a few months ago there were two rubber gromits in the glove box?? probably not related.

Anyway, before I start taking things apart thought it best to seek suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Going through the same thing now. On the engine side of the fire wall, there are two drains, one very visible the other is up under and next to where the longer one is. There is also a lot more water than those towels can get. Pull the carpet back and to reveal channels of water under the pad. Back the rear of the car up onto ramps and drain the water forward. Wet dry vac gets most of it. I am going to pull the carpet to allow the foam pad to dry completely to prevent mold and stink. What a pain. Good luck
