Try turning the AC off a few minutes before you arrive to your destination to allow the moisture to be reduced. Leave the fans on just hit the AC button so the air is not cooled.

I have not needed to look for it but of course it should be under the car and drains out onto the ground. It should be about the area where the base of the windshield is but of course under the car. If I remember tomorrow I will start the car and look under to see where it drips on the ground. You may have to remove one or more of the under-car covers to access it.

any luck on this? i took those damn covers off. think i might just leave them off until i figure this out. too much of a pain in the ass to take them off every time i start to look for a tube.

btw, no luck at all. spent at least 30 minutes searching the area for it and i cannot find anything. water is coming in to the cabin so badly now i just bought a bar of soap for on-the-go showering before work.
