So we recently got rain in S. California this past Saturday after about 7 months of no rain. Today I went into the glove box and there was water. I did not find any signs of water anywhere else.

2 possibilities come to mind.
1. Sunroof drainage tube blocked
2. Leak in the windshield.

Both areas are so far away from the glove box. How could water travel all the way there? Headliner around the sunroof is dry. Behind the glove box and above appears to be dry. It's as though someone poured water directly into the glove box.
I'm going to have to break out the garden hose and run water over the cab to see if it repeats. Anyone have any other ideas on how water got in there?

 

Had the same issue with a car we had, it was the drains for the sunroof, poured a small amount of bleach and stuck lawn trimmer plastic wire down the cut it off and attached the cordless drill, tried to just fish out at first but it only lasted half a rain, after i used the drill it never came back.

 

Thanks for the reply. I had a similar thing that happened to me last year. It was an old vehicle that I hardly drive, but runs well. The drain on the front corner was clogged with mud. We had heavy rains and the inside had about an inch deep water. Since I didn't drive it much, the water sat in the heat come summer time. Mold had grown all inside.

The question that in my truck, the water traveled down into the glove box and nowhere else is quite a mystery.

 

possibly you had a mouse and it ate the hose and the drain isnt clogged at all? If I had a dollar for every fix I have had to do after a mouse took over I could probably buy something at the stealership parts dept

 

LOL. The idea that water had to have traveled down the A pillar and divert along a rail and into the glove box is a mystery. I saw no other signs of water above into the passenger air bag. The bottom seal of the windshield extends too far forward past the glove box.

I'll have to check it all out. Thanks for the help!
