s197 Water on passenger side

[hart88]

When ever i wash my car or it rains i get water that leaks onto the passenger side floor board from under the dash:mad:. The water that looks like it comes from the heater box or that area has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?

Sounds like the windshield is leaking

Do an internet search for fixing a leaking cowl. There was a link here on bangerz a while back about it. Can't search from my phone. It's a common problem. There is a drain hole that gets clogged up. I don't remember if you can go through the glove box or not.

If you don't find it I can search later today for it.

Here is a copy of a TSB for the water leak.

Yes this is a leak but it is not from the windshield. Here is a photo from where the leak is coming. Photo is with passenger side inner fender well removed. Water leaks down and wicks in past the wiring harness groommet and/or orange wire (which I think is an antenna connection...not sure) as I understand it. Never had the issue wit hmy 05.

It's a clogged drain plug... you access it where the cabin air filter goes... from the cowl... reach down in there and make sure you get all the junk out...
