Check the drian hose for the AC located on the passenger side under the plastic footwell cover. Use a torx driver to remove the screws, pull down the cover and then back towards you to remove. Unplug the acc plugs and the light and put the panel out of the way. You will see the hose, disconnect and make sure you have a pan available to catch the water. Clear out the hose and also pull out the pollen filter and let it dry out. Hope this helps.

did run aircondition for a while and put out the hose, got 1/8 liter water, check and clear the hose. and start AC again, but I do not see any water come out under car, I am sure the hose no problem and also did not see any water leaking around the hose connector, where dose the water go to.
also it had more water on driver side than on passenger side.

It does drip more on drivers side for some reason and the water will be very hot to the touch when it it dripping. Keep an eye on it and you may need to clear the line a couple of times. Good luck.

You can test it out by putting a hose up on the cowl and sun roof and checking to see if any water gets into the car. Has it been raining in your area lately? It is certainly possible it is outside water if any of the drains are clogged.

I would like to let dealer to test it, this car is still under new car warranty

I did run half hour water on top and front of the car, I did not see any warter in car.
if only the car got water in side when I were driving it in raining, could this be a big problem?

I would bet that it was the A/C drain that you have already cleared. This has happened to me twice so I just keep an eye out for it. Has it happened again? Keep the torx driver in the car and something to catch the water so that if it happens again you clear it out on the fly. I used compressed air to blow everything out the last time I had the issue and it has not returned. Update us if the dealer finds anything.

Any update? What was the dealers verdict?

my dealer couldn't find any reason for the issue, they just did normal drain clean
