OK... I'm driving with my sandals on and a real deluge of rain hits, wipers on fast to clear it all.. Water starts dripping onto the tops of my toes on the accelerator pedal while driving.

Also happens when parked for big downpours.. I am greeted in the morning by a little puddle on the rubber mat where my accelerator foot heel rests. Same spot.

We've been getting rain pretty much every evening. So it's becoming a pain and I want to chase it down.

The other day I had the belly pans off the car and I find a rubber "duck bill" shaped thing falls out... I see it's supposed to fit up in the transmission tunnel area on the bottom of HVAC drains. This one fell off the driver's side and there's probably another on the passenger side. (Don't know the status of it.) I tried getting my hand up in there to put it back on.. couldn't contort my joints to do it. So it stayed off.

Where it fits is a conduit that is already emerged from the vehicle, so I don't think the absence of this duck bill would cause water to not leave the car.

It's not splashes coming up from the bottom of the car dripping onto my toes... a sitting car in the rain does it. But maybe it's related.

I dunno ... guesses?

The rubber duck bill thing is one of two drains from the cowl area of you car

..got it.

But having the duck bill missing (fallen off), is that enough to cause internal drippage on the toes?
