99TL Water Leaks!!
Guy-
I have a 99TL and it when it rained alot today and I noticed that there is alot of water on the footwell on the passenger side floor on and underneath the mat. Has anyone else ever experienced this problem and any ideas on what would cause this and how to resolve it?

On a side note... Dry up as much water as possible and tape down some trashbags along the footwell. Sit in your car and have a friend or somebody spray your car down really heavy with a waterhose, especially over all seals. Maybe you'll spot something

I had the same exact problem but on the rear driver side footwell, but I also had water in my trunk, do you have any water in your trunk? I have aftermarket lights so what I did was seal all around the light to prevent any water from getting into the trunk and ever since then I don't get anymore water in the footwell. Hope this helps.

possible sunroof drainage tube?
i had my 98 honda accord recently get a new windshield. it then rained alot and i didn't drive the car for a few days. when i got in there was water all over the front footwell, carpeting was soaked, mats, all the way to the floor pan. it was a major pain because i coudn't find the leak, i had to cut the carpeting out because it was on the verge of getting rank. the insurance company had it inspected and said it was not the windshield. they air tested and water tested. the water was dripping from above and down. they couldn't find the leak. i discovered that the sunroof drainage tube is a piece of 1/4" aquarium tubing that runs down into the cockpit and connects to a plastic pvc elbow which leads out the firewall for drainage! stupidest thing i eversaw, because the tube got knocked loose from the drainage pvc ( imho during the windshield install ) the car never leaked before they installed the windshield! my word against theirs, so it was leaking directly into the car! now this tube is located way up in the left handside above where the dead pedal would be in my honda. i have not looked in the 99 tl to see if they did the same thing, but if the design is the same, you might want to check it out? first see if that tube and elbow are there? if so see if they are connected. if not take your hose and run it over the top of the car carfully from the back to the front over the sunroof , let the nozzle lay at the top of the windshield, turn on the water, and get up under the dash with a flash light and look for water entering from the tube just to be sure, ( if the tube is out/ hanging, just put it back in the hole of the pvc elbow. you can also do a light test. have someone shine a bright light down the front of the car windshield along the firewall, and calvent panel where the wipers sit while you lay under the dash to see if light is getting in from an opening, and you might find it that way? you're gonna have to get up in there, close quarters. good luck!

I would say it is your AC plug backed up under the car. Same thing happened to my Honda Accord and basically took it to the dealer, they knew right away what to do. There is a small hard plastic/rubber type tube that drains the water from the condensor. They got the air hose and quickly sprayed air into the tube. Within about 3 seconds, a sh|t load of water came pouring out, including the bugs that were stopping it up. Took care of the problem. Good luck!

If you had submitted a legitimate answer like the rest of these folks then you wouldnt have an bulleye on your back. So just drop this conversation cause you know you are the one that is wrong. For some one to be 20 years old you think they would act their 20 and not like they are a bratty little 5 year old. Besides I bet thats your parents TL and not yours anyway so stop frontin on here claimin that you have one and really dont. Stupid jerk!
Oh, and heres a shot of the title to "my parents" car.
Btw, stop PM'ing me.

I guess I never discovered this problem til now because the car has always been garaged. Now it has to sit outside and is exposed to the elements. Who would have thought that it was faulty workmanship.
