I have a small amount of water coming into the passenger side floormat of this car. I have had my heater core go out on my Cadi so I know it is not that, as it is a very sneakyl eak. There is never any standing water in the car, but you can tell it gets wet because f the discoloredness of the floor, as well as when i leave papers on the floor them become damp, them wet over the course of like a week. In additio to this, I frequently have the issue of a bunch of water condesing on the inside of my sephia's windows, so I know i have a water porlbem in the car. even when i put Dri-Z-Air in there, it soaks up water enough to use the whole container up, but will still fog the inside of the windows... Help please!

It definitely is not coming through the windshield.There is a small chip in it from a rock years ago, but i know it isnt rom this as i live in washington... hard rains and never seen a leak once... I am not sure about the AC drain tube, where would i find this at, what would it look like (size, color) and how would i goi about unclogging it? can i just remove it to blow aire/ water through to clean them replace? Thanks forthe help razmataz, extremely appreciated.

it should be on passenger side fire wall in engine compartment, looks like a little hose sticking out.the way you say not wet after rain then i would agree with rasmataz. to realy get carpet to dry it should be removed and let dry in the sun with grey jute facing up.i would do this on a warm day.jute staying wet while wet tense to smell.
