We had a lot of ran yesterday and one of the 500GE's was outside. Today, I found that the r/s front foot well had a lot of water in it. The l/s had a little. I pulled all floor matts and dried out. Cause? 1. Windshield wiper seals? 2. Drain tubes from sun roof clogged? 3. Fresh air duct - drain tube or hole clogged? Is there such a thing? I need to figure this out and fix it, but thought I would start here for ideas? Thanks for your continued knowledge. AGuess | ||

I have cleaned out # 2 and found the r/s one closed off. I am placing an order for the wiper assembly repair kit. 000 820 10 40 Is there a drain tube associated with the fresh air intake duct that is under the hood? AGuess | ||

Ouch on an '12? I'm sure that was unexpected Unexpected! I guess yes it was not something I bargained for and all the issues that were a result of it. For the amount of time it was getting looked at was the unfortunate part. I was just thankful the warranty came in handy...one of many times! | ||

Leaves get into the box and clog it. Clean it thoroghly and stick a finger (excuse my French) down the drain to make sure it is free of debris... | ||
