[Vwpickups] Re: Rain Leaking in to cabin floor drivers side

[Mathew Banack]

If the drains at the ends of the cowl/heater area are plugged, the water will puddle-up and go in the heater.  Then it will end up on eiter side.
 
If mine got just the right amount of rain, it would just puddle-up and the first hard left turn my feet got washed.  Beautiful.
