2008 Hummer H3

Wet/soak underfloor carpet. Both front : driver side and mostly passenger side---> more wet/soak



*Sunroof drain hose is not clog already checked clean and clear*



What else could be the cause?

Check the ac drain tube on passenger side

It does not really seal well and I had significant water coming in there at times

Also, after that check:

Windshield, some folks have issues with bad seals

Roof rails, some folks have had issues with rusting or damaged press nuts


Door seals, low probability but easy to check, look for kinks, pinches, and gaps

Where exact is the AC drain tube located? I doubt its that because I haven't been using the AC due to a bad AC evaporator I just got that replaced that is why I found out about the soak floor.

It’s not necessarily the AC, but that the tube is not real well sealed against the firewall, letting water splash inside. It does not seem like too much gets in, but in a heavy rainfall it can be notable.


Right side (passenger), below the computer, up against the firewall.

Mines a L shape tube I can easily remove that and poke something in the hole

1. I know its not a heater core leak because I would have smell coolant inside and see coolant level drop from the expansion tank
2. Not my Ac drain tube because I haven't use the AC since the AC Evaporator has a leak "just replaced it"

Could be the the AC tube firewall hole that water sneaks in since the hole is about 1.5in open and the tube is only 1in. so about .25in all around that has a opening

Hi
I had a problem also my drain hoses were all clean but on the passenger side fire wall
one of the drain hose's is plugged into a grommet if that hose is not connected properly
you will have flooding problems. check it out, getting your hand in there ain't easy.
Good luck.
