Wet Feet!
Howdy all!
I’m driving a 2002 Cabriolet, which is always kept inside and whose only current malady is blowing a seemingly endless stream of foam out of the air vents.
This summer (in Texas, so humidity probably plays a roll...), water has started to drip from the vent work under the dash onto my right foot - Directly above the accelerator. On some days, when set to low AC, my foot can get positively soaked!
to add to that, when I make a turn to the left, it sounds like standing water is burbling down a creek to the opposite side of the car!
any suggestions on what I might do to remedy?
Thanks all!

DRAINS! Clean them out! Seriously, after you drive with the AC on does the condensate drain out towards the middle-right side of the car behind the front axel ? If not the AC drain is plugged.

Also clear the drain on your battery tray. I did mine 6 mos ago and noticed yesterday (while recharging AC) that there was a bunch of leaves and sediment collecting there again. My garage only works at night!

It seems to be dripping out slowly, but in great quantity, from the driver’s side drain. I guess the passenger’s is totally blocked then! What’s the standard for clearing them out, compressed air from the bottom?

If you blow back from the bottom, it's only a matter of time til they get blocked up again (i.e. you've only cleared the drain, but the debris remains to clog the drain as soon as you get water in there again). You really need to get to the source/top of the drain and vacuum it out. Good luck
