[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is water leaking into my car. It pools on the drivers side floor. I’ve checked the sunroof drains. They seem clear. Per google, I lifted the hood and cleaned debris under the hood at the windshield-that helped but did not solve the problem. Do you have any ideas? My car is so stinky. It’s a 2012 Highlander.[/quote]

There are drainage holes in the vent area below the windshield. When you cleaned the leaves nd other accumulated crap out of that corner area under the hood, you got the big stuff that on the surface, but there is probably still more blocking the drain hole.  My guess would be it’s either a bunch of dead bugs all collected there, or some of those oak tree pollen things, or possibly a mud dauber wasp has built a nest and blocked it. Vacuum the area, the use  a hose, and really spray the hell out of that drain area. Keep the water away from the ECU on the firewall (put a bag over it) and the rest of the engine. If that doesn’t clear it up, you have to isolate the leak to figure out where it’s coming from. Cover various parts of the car body (sunroof, hood vents, door) with a tarp and then spray the car with a hose to simulate rain. It might not be coming in where you think it is. [/quote]
