This problem just started happening a couple weeks ago, but every time it rains I get water leaking in and it just pours out from under the dash behind the glove box. If my car sits outside while it's raining and I take it out for a drive it comes pouring out and I'm not talking about just a little bit of water, I mean like a gallon pouring out onto my passenger floor board. How is it getting in and where is it being stored because it only comes out if I turn a corner or punch the gas.

Anyone else have this problem? This is getting very annoying having to soak up all the water every time it rains. I can't tell where the hell it's coming in from.

How old is it?
Bowl to catch water!
There are two drains in the fire wall that can clog up with leaves and grim. locate them behind the heads on the firewall and stick yur finger up the rubber make sure they are clear, one cup water to test. but you still may need to take it in.

There is a TSB for cowl leaks on the '05s and '06s. Not sure about later models. I had my '06 leak fixed under this. Mine didn't gush water like yours, but had a slow leak that entered the passenger footwell behind the kickpanel whenever it rained or went through a carwash.

Thanks guys. I think I got it fixed. I stuck my finger up the drain on the passenger side and about two gallons of water poured out. The other side wasn't clogged. Now I want to take the plastic vent off and clean it out real good but I couldn't figure out how to get the windshield wipers off. I got the nuts off but they wouldn't come off of the bolts. Any tips?

Use a small battery terminal remover tool (looks like a mini gear puller) and they will pop right off.

Pick up a new cabin air filter while you're at it.
