AC drain hose missing- water in footwell

Hey guys- i'm missing a hose that goes from the bottom of the plastic box under the dash through the firewall. This is where i found the water leaking when running the AC. Any leads on where to get one or what might work to replace- can i use any old hose that'll fit?

I would say any hose that fits would work fine,just cut it to the correct length and hopefully no more water,Johnny

Do a search. A common repair on this item is to cut the top off of a quart bottom and fit it on place like a funnel. Easier to put in place than a hose and cheaper too. Just stick the neck of the bottle through the hole where it dumps out.

clear tubing

I used a piece of clear tubing with an ID of 5/8'' (I think) any way a foot at the Lowe's store was like a $1.00 or something. I liked it because I can see the water running out. I cut the exit on an angle to better fit the trans tunnel. You'll see easy fix with the side panels off. Good luck
