Water leaking on the floor of you car?

Sunroof and Air Conditioning drains can become clogged, resulting in water leaking on the floor of the drivers and/or passenger side of the vehicle.

If you notice the water leaking only when it is raining outside, it is likely that your sunroof drain is clogged. The most likely cause of the clog is from underneath trees. The leave debris can pile up over time and block the small opening that allows the water to flow out of vehicle. The drains are made of rubber, so it is imperative to not insert anything in the opening of the drain in an attempt to clear the debris. The rubber drain hose is fragile and can rupture easily.

If the water is leaking despite the weather conditions outside, and while you are running your vehicle’s air conditioning, it is likely that the A/C drain is clogged.
