So I was driving in a downpour the other day with my A/C on and water kept spraying out of the vents behind my radio. I had to walk around with wet socks all day, and everyone knows how much *** wet sucks suck. So now my car smells like mildew and I can't use my A/C. So what the hell broke and how do I fix it?

An e-beer for whoever helps my dumbass out

 

I had water dripping down from under/behind the glove box once (raining hard). Pass side carpet was soaked, seal around the windshield had a leak and needed to be repaired.

Hmm I had the same problem the other day, but it wasn't raining and it happened because I was using the a/c. Maybe it's the same thing? If so I'd like to be able to fix it.

 

it's probably the return line for the a/c. Check around under there with the system turned on and see where it's dripping from...easy fix if this is the case. Tube could have just come loose.

I'll find out as soon as it stops ******* raining. I can't ride and my a/c is broken so I refuse to leave the house

 

Water is accumulating in your evaporator box under your dash. The drain line is most likely plugged. To fix this, jack the car up and look for a black drain hose on the passenger side near the fire wall. Use a turkey baster or other suction device to suck the blockage out. You evaporator box will most likely drain about a quart of water.

Your windscreen seals could be stuffed. Get some clear sealent and go nutz. I had this problem and all it took was some sealent around the edge of the windscreen.

 

I dunno about 3rd gens, but my 2nd gen has the same problem. It could be your window wiper motor cowl. To fix this you need to pull the plastic tabs/plugs out of the cowl, and replace the rubber inserts that go in the holes.
