I have a 95 j30 and I noticed water dripping from under the passenger dash. It only leaks when it has been raining for awhile. If any one has a similar issue or advice please let me know. Thanks!!!!

Clogged condensate drain in tray under evaporator of the AC. Try chasing it out with some heavy-gauge weed whacker line from below.Lovely Baltimore summers. Air you can climb on.

Is the ac tray in the engine compartment or inside the vehicle?

Welcome to NICO!!!

I remember a dealer TSB concerning this one, because I had it happen a number of years ago.

I think one or both of your sunroof drains is clogged. Open up the sunroof and check it. You will need a can of forced air to clean the venturi drains, be careful, they are sensitive. To my knowledge, the drains run down the A-pillars down to below the front windshield. If they clog up, they can leak into the front footwells. The passenger footwell for whatever reason is more susceptible to leaks.

Water can still get in the drains even if the sunroof is closed. They get in through worn sunroof seals.

Good luck and let us know the outcome.

Inside, behind the glovebox (which, I'll wager, has never held a pair of gloves).
