a/c drip tube

yes.. the floor is wet, but have discovered that this is a rain leak. which in itself is proving to be very difficult to source..
yet, I still think that where the condensate drain comes from the unit, there is another tube which may be an overflow?--
much like the overflow on many house hold condensate drain trays.. thank you for your help. pen

Not sure if you have a moon roof, but check that the drains are working properly.

rain water leak

thank you for your suggestion. yes.. the unit has a moon roof.. have looked for any drains around it.. it appears to be water proof with rubber seals.
I have taped off part of the passenger door.. right at the top.. close to the hinge side (front).. we are expecting more rain down here in New Orleans
so hope to have a better idea where the rain can come in.. or where it cannot. All a mystery as all the rubber gaskets look in top shape.

The drains are on the track of the moon roof. Water will get in on a moonroof, even if it's closed, so it's designed to drain properly. If you open the moon roof, look around there for a drain.

If you search the forums, I think Action Jackson posted a picture of his head liner removed and you can see the drains from inside the car and kind of where the hoses go. If you look at the online parts diagram you can see the drains as well.

Another thing to investigate is the weather lining behind the door panels. If they are not pressed into the black adhesive properly it can cause a leak. Search for ToddF, he posted a good video.

Good luck!
