Water Leak

I have a 2012 tacoma pre runner and i went through the car wash today and when i got to the vacuums, i noticed water was dripping from under my
glovebox, any idea on what that could be ?

 

Check your cabin air filter for water, may have come in that way.

I had this happen after a heavy rain storm. Turns out I had a clogged A/C drain tube. After getting the tube cleaned out (I took mine to a mechanic), I put some RTV sealant on the bottom portion of my windshield just in case.

 

Does liquid smell of coolant? Is coolant level low? Does car wash have undercarriage spray?

 

turn on heat and dry it out

 

it doesn’t smell like coolant just water and i have found that it is dripping out of my blower motor but it’s not dripping anymore. I just went and poured water on my windshield and it leaked through again so could it be a leak in my windshield ?

 

Have you ever had the windshield replaced?

 

Was gunna say the same thing. I had mine replaced and the first wash I went through, it leaked for the first time ever.

 

no i have not had it replaced and i am going to try and replace my cabin air filter but if it was my ac hose or air filter why wouldn’t it leak all the time ? not just when i went through the car wash

 

Mine was actually the channel that was blocked.
Ny those blooming things that fall off oak trees.

These things.




That was BEFORE I had the windshield replaced.
I’m still waiting for it to start leaking after have the windshield replaced 2x now.
I hope it never does, but it 50/50 it seems.

 

Mine doesn't even leak every time I go through the wash. Random washes and not yet after a hard rain. It's been over a year since i replaced it.

 

Just pull the cowl off under the windshield.
You’ll probably figure it out pretty quick.

 

i’m not very mechanic savvy lol but i’m sure i can youtube it. I will try that and the air filter thank you all!

 

I am guessing that it has to do with the amount of water the channel can drain at once.
If the water amount exceeds the rate at which the channel can drain. It leaks.
And possibly the angle the truck is parked at.

 

Replacing the Air Filter will not help.
It isn’t causing the issue. Replacing it with a new one, will have the new one result in getting wet too.
I’d “fix” the problem first, then replace the filter.

 

Yeap. Seems the “design” could have had a bit more thought put into it.
But I just live with it. Lol

 

It's not bad having all weather flooring. I don't mind the once in a while drip or two.
