Default Water in footwells on sharp turn?

Hi All,
Odd scenario, seems to be clean water. My 09' CTTS has been sitting in my driveway/garage for the past week with the cowl and wipers off for some rejuvenation and cleaning. I did some controlled spot cleans, including the cowl debris and a flooding of the washer fluid bottle. Nothing that would lead me to believe water would be able to infiltrate the cab/dash. Yet I have seen proof of water appearing on the mats. Today I went to the gas station and upon turning spiritedly onto the main street, I felt water poor (about 3/4 cup) It came from the top of the tunnel area behind the center dash console. Any off the top ideas before I start tearing things apart?

Check the a/c condensate drain, as it’s in that area and known for this issue when it’s clogged.

Okay will do thanks! I am used to hearing a bacon sizzle sound in turns when that happens, guess this vehicle might have a different tray setup

Yep, this. It attached to the center tunnel there. Same in an Audi Q5 where I had the same issue.

Definitely the A/C tray. After a long run made that turn and water was freezing on my toes

Default Another to do checked off!

Thank you for the great pointer, it cleared my doubts and it was spot on. My set-up is a little different then the videos I had seen, seems the refresh did a little more than bumpers. There was about a pint of water stuck in there. Was a super simple process. Hopefully this will lead to no more chilly toes! Many Thanks to the great people of the Rennlist community!

Luckily it is a pretty simple process.

Took about 10 minutes, then I use this attachment to flush

After pushing a thick flexible rubber hose down the drain.
