Water/rain leaking from under the dash on drivers side. (1 Viewer)

[sidneyhop]

This is a thoroughly discussed topic about cleaning out the drain lines from the sunroof but I have another question.
(The PO sealed up the sunroof as it was inoperative so unless the seal has started leaking and the line is clogged its got to be coming from somewhere else)

Ive heard of the windshield leaking and also a source from under the hood that can get clogged but can not find the original tutorial of where/how to find that under hood source/drain line that can get clogged.

I do notice when I make a sharp turn I can hear the water sloshing from behind the dash. Also the leak really comes down after a good rain.

Any info would be great.
Thanks

It could be your a/c drain tube is clogged. On my wife’s 100 when it was making a sloshing sound, I had to open the rocker drains at the pinch welds and about half a gallon of water came out

Ok. Ill look there for good measure. It generally leaks after a good rain though.

@sidneyhop - Has the windshield been replaced recently?

Nope. I saw a tutorial on that being a potential issue on YT but was going to re seal that as a last resort.

I also saw a vid about an inlet source under the hood that can get plugged also but cant find it now for the life of me. I blew out all the leaves that pile up under there but wanted to know specifically where that drain is to pay close attention there. Blowing out the leaves didn't help.

How is the sunroof sealed? The sunroof drains would need to be cleaned with the sunroof partially open. If it was sealed below the drains, it could possibly still leak down the A pillars. I would try and unseal the sunroof, and see what is in there.
