Now that it is getting warmer down here in FL. I put my A/C on and I am getting drips of water on both the driver and passenger foot wells. It is a good sum of water, from the A/C. Has anyone run in to this. I have not found the normal tube were the water should run under the car.

This HAS been mentioned B4. I tried a "search" and couldn't come up with it. Maybe you'll have better luck!

I believe there are some little insulators that someone was selling to help this problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have an X1 right? I'm sure the problem is worse on that car being an open air car....

I found water on my passenger side once but could not figure out where it was coming from. It was on the Red GT that does not see much road time. I have never tried to duplicate the condition. Sorry I know this didn't help...:bored

The insulators were made by AnalogDesigner to cover the water pipes coming into the drivers compartment on the right lower side of the center stack. They were meant to insulate the drivers compartment front heat and nothing else. You should probably check the drain tube which comes out on the right front (behind the wheel) of the car. Need to see best on a lift. There are some old posts about this here with pics. Left side drain is for the windshield washer overflow.

If you remove the kick-plate on the passenger side, you will find the freon in/out tubes (copper piping). I insulated mine with standard AC insulation from Home Depot. I did it more for noise insulation than water issues, but I did notice condensation on the pipes. I doubt this is your issue but I might be a good place to start poking around.

There are two drains located on plastic nipples under the dash; one on each side and I suspect that the hoses were not installed.

If I can be of assistance PM me and I will share more information.

There is a "banned" member who fought the same problem at Rally I.

They took his car being an early 05 and had the AC manufacture take it apart and fix it.... He bought a Saleen 281 that week end to beat on something...

Sam who?

Mine does this too.

Fortunately it never actually gets what is technically known as 'warm' in the UK. :lol
