Hello, help please.
I have 2005 Crossfire Coupe which seems to have a lot of water coming in. Car windows always misting up. Can hear sloshing of water when turning corners maybe in the vents??. Heater not as hot as it usually is. When I run my hand underneath the glove box (right under) it's dripping wet. Carpet is soaked and we continuously are putting in towels to soak up water. Haven't a clue what the cause is, maybe a blocked water drainage vent somewhere? Your help would be much appreciated please.
Thanks

Does the liquid smell like antifreeze (coolant), it could be a leaking heater core
alternatively, there is a bung plug in that area. It enters the car below the battery tray. You can see it from inside the car with the footwell electronics exposed or you can access it when the battery is removed. Perhaps this plug has come lose.
You want to stop that leak ASAP. The passenger footwell house’s the TCU (transmission Control Unit) and amp for the stereo.

No smell of antifreeze. Just water as far as I'm aware. Constantly putting towels down as have numerous days and weeks of rain. Did read something about checking under cowel or something to see if drainage hoses blocked.

Update: Just pulled carpet out and found this. There seems water running down this black duct pipe. But looking at the cover plate. There seems to have been quite a bit flowing down over it.

The commonest cause for this is a blocked drain under the cowl, and this means water overflows into the air inlet for the heater and AC.
Remove the wiper arms, unplug the wires to the WW nozzles and lift the cowl to inspect all of the drains (4).
Do it before major damage occurs, as it is coming down the hose you may have another problem but the drain inspection should be done anyway.

look at these 3 posts from another thread
Disregard the pics of the alarm module but you can see where to look for debris clogging the drains under this cowel
That is likely what your problem is as well
there are other threads here that describe this ans it is very common
Re: Water coming in passenger side crossfire coupe
hey , I had to water sloshing noise in my xfire too . You may have 2 issues but the sloshing is a the drain hole in the door is clogged. I'm the second owner of my xfire and the window on that side was broken b4 (I didn't know this). I took the door panel off (easy to do) and there was like 2.5 inches of water in there! I got the water out and had some tools (like an ice pick with an angled end) there was a tiny bit of glass in that hole and a small leaf and pollen out the wazzoo . I clean it all out, sanded the rust that built up, sprayed some self etching primer in there and then sprayed a coat of bed liner in the bottom, poked the holes through again and its been fine ever since.
