Why is water soaking the passenger side of my Pontiac G6?
Its purpose is to prevent airflow directly into the HVAC case and aids in part of the “quiet car” initiative. The HVAC/evaporator drains now through an opening in the bottom of the drain tube rather than at the end of the tube, as it has been previously. This change was on any Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6 built since October 2007.
What should I do if I have water on my passenger side?
This change was on any Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6 built since October 2007. The new 2008 Chevrolet Malibu since start of production will also have this plug/cap. Recommendation/Instructions: If there is water on the passenger side front floor area, check the operation of the drain. Make sure that small debris is NOT plugging it up.
Why do I have water under my car?
This is an easy fix if your rubber hose is dislodged like mine was, causing water to be rerouted inside the car rather than under the car.
Where is the source of water soaking the passenger side?
There is an area at the top of the windshield, inboard about two inches from the side of the car where a bunch of sheet metal joins together. Its certainly a location that can generate a slight leak. Usually you will see a slight water spot on the headliner when this happens.

Where does the water come from on a car?
That part is put on the car when the sheet metal is welded up. Its tightly sealed to preclude leakage. The rain hat stops water, so long as the rest of the cowl area drains. I’ve seen cars where the cowl drain got stopped up with leaves, water filled up and went over the top of the rain hat.
Why is there water on the passenger side of my car?
Water on floor passenger side from clogged AC condensate drain. This is one of the more common problems. It’s caused by bacteria buildup on the AC evaporator coil located in the heater box under your dash. Bacteria from airflow combines with condensation from the AC coil to produce a mildew/mold smell and the formation of a slime on the AC fins.
What to do if your car has water on the floor?
There are two ways to clean an AC drain line. The easiest and least messy way is to locate the drain line from under the vehicle and insert a flexible item line a pipe cleaner or speedometer cable into the drain line to dislodge the clog. This will require you to jack up the vehicle and place it on jack stands.
