Water infiltration/driver side

We had a good rain last night and I noticed today I had some water coming in from under the dash. After closer inspection it seems to be coming from the vent.

Any tips on how to fix?

P.S. sorry for the quick text/lack of details, I'll have more info soon.

Happening to me. Still have not de-bugged. Maybe the TSB on cowl leak will solve it.

So it seems there's actually some trapped water inside the vents. I can hear it slush around when turning.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

It seems to be coming from the passenger side as well.

Anyone?

Ok this is more serious then i thought.

We had about a week of rain non-stop. I just checked and my carpets are soaked and water is still dripping. I can't see where exactly the water is coming from because of all the wires and such.

Can anyone help me?

You have a clogged drain. I will post the TSB. Fairly easy to do. But you will have to do it blind, the drain valve is hidden. But doable.

Thanks, I found the TSB in one of your older posts. I did what they suggested. Just gotta wait for the next rain to see if it did the trick.

Looks like no more water is coming in but I can still hear some moving around.

Is there a way to empty the renaming water out of the vent?

Seems it did not totally fix my problem. Water still coming in from the vents when its raining. What would be the next step?

Did you do the entire TSB? It requires that you install 2 EPB seal at the ends of the cowl cover. Do you have the TSB? I can post.
