loserone Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Apparently you may be able to see UP into a blockage of that drain, and if it's blocked there it pours into the footwell. Push the indicator to the front of the car, then out from the back. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
