Where's the AC drain located?
My passenger (LHD) carpet is wet, and when the AC is on, and i drive over a bumpy highway, the window gets foggy....
Driving off to Wörthersee 2012 in a few hours, so wo can help me out?

It's down where your clutch pedal would hit the carpet if you had one - bit closer to the center console in fact. I think someone posted some photos once - might even have been me.

But you peel the carpet back then you'll see the drain going through the bulkhead.

Wet passenger carpet, points more to leaking rear screen washer pipe , or water coming in through bulkhead , either way unwed to get it sorted to avoid more problems with electrics under passenger seat !!!!

Good point Phil, I had missed the bit where he said it's on the passenger side.

It's on the passenger side, but i've a LHD car (guessing u guys in the UK have a RHD ;) )
I was @ Wörthersee the last week, so i've dried the floor, and didn't look again haha, will check this soon.
Drove as much as possible with the AC off to be sure.
