    help!
    Have looked at videos, can’t find the fix.....
    2010 Taco.......AC drain is clear, drips fine with AC on, no water leak.
    New windshield installed a couple of months ago, no leaks from it.....

    no water when it rains and driving......

    so water leak is when I take it thru car wash.....high pressure......comes out right in middle,

    So today I put a hose on car, aimed it at vents took glove compartment out, can see water leaking, cabin filter is wet,

    not sure if I have some sort of drainage plugged up Or metal seam I need to reseal......

    Help please!

    You’ll probably need to pull the cowl off under the hood.
    There is a channel that catches water it can be blocked by debris.
    Here is a post on it. You can either do the mod, or not.
    I personally wouldn’t want to block off that much air flow to my fresh air intake.
    But anyways, this should show you where to look.

    Here is another post that can help you get to it.

    If you don’t find anything there, it maybe the windshield.

    Had same problems after windshield replacement. I resealed the factory seam sealed areas per Toyota service bulletins which address this issue as well. The antenna cable gasket is also a potential leak, there are multiple bulletins but I also installed the screen and a solid piece of aluminum with a two inch gap at top to move air. No problems since then while it was apart I covered every possibility and that worked. I also resealed both corners which are known leak areas as well.

    Thank you so much for the links.......did BOTH this weekend, as the truck is going live outside.
    In addition, I removed the mud flaps allowing me to pull back the wheel well splash guards and remove 10 years worth of leaves and debris so the drains actually drain.....super easy......I guess the previous owner like to park it under trees for shade
    Thanks again
