[s-cars] Soggy foot returns

[Bob Frizzell]

Mike,
I believe the problem is as you descibe. The drains are clear, I can pour
water in there and it comes out where it is supposed to. When it rains (it
pours!)and then when I accelerate or make a left turn the water pours out of
the HVAC above the gas pedal.  I've tried duplicating this scenario with a
hose but for some reason can't do so - very strange. How much work is it to
re-seal the HVAC box?
Bob

additional possibility is if the heater core has been replaced, possibly the
HVAC box may not be properly sealed in the body cut-out, this would likely
be in conjunction with a cowl drain that is  atleast partially
clogged............................................mike

You might have a clogged drain under the hood:

And windshields have been known to leak, especially if
they have been replaced.
