Hey all, we've been having intermittent water pooling inside of the footwells for both the driver and passenger sides over the past year after a good rain. We've had this problem before with another car and we know it's caused from the moonroof channels getting clogged and not draining properly when raining.
After trying to use an air compressor to blow out the lines and also using weed wacker string to snake out the lines, this still happened from time to time.
I finally broke down and took apart the glove box and the found the clog in the lines. Once removed, you can see a clear plastic hose that runs from the moonroof to the engine well. You can easily remove this hose and snake out the clog at this junction. Ours was pretty gunked up and we were able to clear it out fairly easily where it doesn't happen anymore. The driver's side was a bit more challenging as we didn't have much room to work but with a little effort, you can reach this component and clear it out as well.
While at it on the passenger side, I removed the blower fan assembly for the AC/Heat and removed a leaf that got stuck inside which was making some noise when it was on high.
Figured I'd share this info just in case someone else was having this same issue with water leaking, etc.
