Default Cabin Filter Soaked.....?

We've had a lot of rain this week. My fan stopped blowing air so I pulled my cabin filter.....sure enough it was soaked.

I did a quick check of the drains on the cowling, but see no clogging. Any ideas?

I really don't want to pull the entire cowling off to check underneath, has anyone ever had this problem on the F.....window side seals are cracking......what other entry points are there?

Only thing that pops out would be your right front sun roof drain tube.

Have you ever had your windshield replaced.

Windshield has been in the car for 5 years.

There is nothing on the carpets...just in the filter. Re-circulation damper works fine and is not broken

I thought that the sunroof drain tube goes down along the side of the footwell, no where near the cabin filter.

Just saying it's a possibility. Mine wasn't hooked up and filled the quarter panel up with water which then seeped into cabin of the car.

​​​​i would definitely check the cowling for signs of standing water.

Is water dripping underneath the car with the ac on? Is your coolant level okay?
