I noticed that the driver side front and back carpets were damp. It hasn't rained in quite a while, but the AC has been running a lot. Is there a drain for the ac that might be clogged? It is a JSW 09 with pano roof. Thanks all.:confused:

Check the sunroof drains, and clear them as necessary. If it's not the drains, then it does sound like the AC from what i last checked.

Spot on...

The sunroof drains have issues. You can search for them on the forum. Mine leaked down the A pillar cover and dripped thru the fusebox/dash area. This left a puddle on the floor / sill. With mine, I could simulate the leak by opening the sunroof and pouring water down the drain from a cup.

Weed Eater Refill string worked wonders to clear out the drain.

I will get to the roof drains with weed eater string. Does someone know where the AC drains come out?
