My passenger side carpet stays wet, I pulled the side panel off the console and blew out the A/C drain tube and back flushed the tube into the evap. I have wrapped the drain tube with insulation and checked the aluminum lines just above the console for condensation, the top of the console hump appears to be dry. What am I missing?
Thanks,

This guy on FB has found out where the water is coming in from:

I have given my repair effort about 4 days to test for leaks and I am sure this is working. As stated earlier, Passenger side carpet was wet, as a good clue, Oneill forwarded me a pic from another post but it showed the rusty color on the seam sealer area. I pulled my carpet and found the same look on my sealer, picked at it a little and large chunks came up very easily, you could clearly see where the water was coming in. I pulled my A/C drain and added a 90 Deg. extension (from Home Depot) so that the condensation would not run down the side of the tunnel, I lifted the car up to look in that area and it was clear the the condensation was running into the trans/floorboard seam and seeping through. I cleaned the seam, had to lightly scuff the surface to get some silicone RTV to really stick well. I packed it in the seam area and smoothed it out. If you have other leaks, look for the rusty areas on the seam sealer.
