Default Wet Rear Floor : HELP

06 GS 300 AWD wit soaked rear floor. Pulled seats and rotating dry towels under the carpet and pad.

Did a search and have been down there looking all over. Used mirror and went over tranny...
Can't find the plug too remove or the cover to take off.
I did get the 11" bent pliers...help.

Thanks.

I took my carpet out of the car to let it dry. It seemed to have been leaking for a bit before I noticed it. Was able to get it cleaned after a few good cleanings.

Thank you

Yuck...did you find the root cause? Where's the water coming from? Likely HVAC drain.

Done.
The Camera was a must, first whack at it and down came the water.
Called the dealer.
1. Bring it in.
2. Run a diagnostic with tech and factor in mileage, vin ect...
3. Check on TSB's after they have car.
4.Give estimate and schedule repair date.

Thanks everyone....! Yea

They know of this issue at the dealer. It took a long time and it took some work but they fixed it at no cost)

I jabbed mine with the bent tipped pliers. Poked a hole on the rubber grommet and the water poured out!
