Cabin Air Intake

I have a water leak coming from my cabin air intake. Can anyone shed some light on how to access this from inside the car?

look in the DIY cabin air filter replacement
remove glovebox- behind that is the air filter cover- behind that is the blower motor- heater core and vent intake and such

That sounds like the evaporator drain is clogged- check that.

It only does it when it rains, so i used a garden hose to check various areas and it comes in when i spray in the middle of the windshield. so i got under the dash on the driver's side and cut back the dashboard material to follow the water and it led to the blower motor, vent intake area...

yea, i've done tons of searches and typ its a sunroof drain clog or something of that nature, seems like i'm the lucky guy that gets this odd ball.... anyway, i'm guessing some debris got into the cowl and has now clogged the drain in it and its overflowing into the heater core or whatever that big black box is that is attached to the firewall behind the radio
