Yeah if the drain is blocked it's no wonder it's overflowing into the cab, my aircon pumps out STACKS of water.

Have a look at the firewall from the engine bay side, you should see a little rubber hose that comes out and goes straight down towards the ground. Normally it get's full of mud or spider webs etc. Just get either a long pipe cleaner and ram that up and down a few times until the water starts to pour out or do my favourite and get the air compressor nozzle onto the job and give it a bit of 120psi! LOL
That should sort er out.

I remember once in a pintara we had it got spider webs all clogged up in the dran, everytime you'd go around a sharp corner water would splash onto your feet! ;-)

Hi Joel

Would you believe that our 2003 Hilux SR5 is currently at Toyota being fixed for the exact same problem. This is the 3rd time it has been back to them.

Firstly they told us it was the door seals and they resealed them - WRONG

Secondly they said it was the windscreen, they resealed the windscreen - WRONG

Thirdly, they have said that water is coming through the firewall, where the wires go through the gromet and the water is travelling backwards into the car therefor causing wet floors/carpets. They have scilliconed the gromets to stop the water flowing back in. We are yet to find out if this is fixed as the car isn't being picked up until Monday.

I removed the carpet back from under the pedels and poured half a bucket of water onto the lower half of the windscreen and stuck my head under where the pedels are, and litterally saw water dripping in above the pedals.

Hope some of that info might help.

Cheers

Mel
