So best to wear an old tee shirt when doing this!
No need to replace the "nipples"
Anyone have a picture of these HVAC unit "nipples" that I should be looking for? I also have a flood of water sitting in my footwells, but I'm not sure if it's from my HVAC unit drains or if it's from the Sunroof drains. I don't appear to have any water damage in the headliner area so my first guess is the nipples that are being discussed. I just drove through a torrential downpour the other day and didn't notice any water seeping in at all, but the following day the water was there - lots of it. I had the a/c on for my entire 4hr drive to Lake George, but I'm not sure if that's enough to explain the volume of water I've found. Where do the drain lines from the HVAC unit drain to anyways and why would they drain inside the car if they were clogged?
I already starting taking out the carpeting as well in order to dry it and the floorboards out, but am a bit apprehensive about taking out the seats (to remove the carpet) due to the electrics within the seat. Any suggestions? Any idea where I can buy the star shaped wrench required to remove the seats?
