Recently, after 2-3 days rain, my daughter said that the
driver's side carpet was soaked. If you check the photos
in the link below, I sprayed water into the plastic cowl
cover and my daughter said water was dripping onto the
carpet, where your left leg would sit.
I took the wipers off and the plastic cowl cover and noticed
there are 2 "drain holes" about 1" long right under where
the wiper is. So I ran water down into those holes and
water again dripped into the driver foot well.
When I look up under the driver's side dash, I see there
is a flat, plastic (horizontal) panel which goes from the
dash to the firewall, so I'm thinking water is coming in
on this side of the firewall, and is flowing along this
horizontal panel and finally dripping onto the floor.
Any ideas on what the issue is and how to correct it?
Maybe there is a firewall grommet which is known to fail?
I know some may suggest to check the sunroof drain
system, but I *only* sprayed water in the area shown
in the photos here:
