water in the car help !!!

Post by mccdan4 »

Hello all I'm having a frustrating problem with my 03 vibe, Water comes into the interior when I'm driving. And it s not raining!!!! It is not the heater core. Only seems to happen in the summer months.I think some how the problem is connected to my a/c? anyone else had any trouble with this??? thanks

It could very well be the AC condensate water. There's a tube that goes down through the passenger-side floor to let the water removed from the air by the AC drain out. If it's loose or plugged up then you can get water collecting on the carpeting. See:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=28901

I'm one of the many people that had the problem prathman mentioned. Surprising how much water comes out of there
