Soaked Rear Footwell

Hey guys, I opened my rear driver side door and the entire footwell was covered in water. I used half a full roll of Bounty to soak it all up. It was only the carpet that was soaked. Any idea what's going on?

Have you been using A/C??

I had that issue in mine... there's a drain tube for the condensation water that goes through there that tends to leak

Yup, blasting a/c. I've seen a YouTube video mentioning that but I have no idea where that is. Any chance you could take a picture for me?

Didn't see this actually. Wasn't sure what term to search for. :S In any case, another CPO case for me and to the dealer I go tomorrow! Here's hoping I get a fun loaner car. 435/440?

So update... Dealer said my front driver side footwell was soaked too. They said it was because I was missing a grommet in the firewall, the one that I removed when I did my JB4 install. There's never been a problem until this past week during a thunderstorm, but I've been through many storms with both rain and snow with no issues so why would it be a problem now? Does this sound accurate?

I had a missing front grommet in the downward left side of the cowel in an older Porsche and after running the AC I had condensation dripping on my left foot...4.00 part and about 10 mins to replace.
