Water leaking into cabin

[c_olcott]

Ok I have a fairly major water leak happening on the passenger side of my car. Water only leaks in when it rains or I wash the car (both by hand or a car wash). The water leaks in from here. If anyone needs more direct pictures/other angles I can snap some more this afternoon (after 4:30pm est). The picture is from just under the glove box. If i'm not mistaken, the front most piece of plastic is the housing through which the heat comes out when you run the heater for your feet. In the picture you can almost make out that it is still wet right at the joint and the left bolt is a little wet still. Any ideas on where to look would be great. Also I watched inside the enigine bay while running the water and didn't see any evidance that water was going through one of the rubber stoppers by the firewall. Thanks in advance for your help

I had a similar leak on my passenger side soaking the carpets after a good rainfall or car wash. I removed the 4 screws that held the black plastic exterior window trim on the passenger side. The water drain was plugged full of leaves, causing water to puddle and overflow into the air inlet duct. Clean that area out and re-seal the duct extension to the sheetmetal. You should be good to go.

Hey, thanks for the idea. Though there was nor much for leaves etc. The tubing was not properly sealed to the sheet-metal. So all I had to do was move it into place.
