I've got a 2013 Sorento and the floor is soaked heavy. I think I even hear it pouring out when turn left. Thanks for the video. I'm going to check that now.

@@felipepalacios6671 Yes I used an air compressor with an attachment that just shoots the pressurized air out and I found the drain hose on the passenger side (under the vehicle) it was close to the wall separating the engine compartment from the floorboard. I just stuck the air hose in the drain hose and blew it out. It works fine now. Now that I know how to do it next time it will only take 5 minutes. I drove up on ramps to do it too. Hopefully this helps. I was relieved that I didn't have to pay for someone to do something that turned out to be easy.

My 2013 SX just started leaking on to the floorboard. I first noticed the floorboard was wet just on that side. I though maybe I didn't have the window rolled up all the way when parked, as we just got all that rain from the remnants of Ian up here in the Northeast. I dabbed it up with a towel and planned to dry the car with a dehumidifier later at some point. Then, I went to get beer. Because, of course. On my drive through some backwoods windy roads, I heard water sloshing around. I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Then, when I made a hard left turn coming down a hill and braking pretty hard, I visually saw water dripping out from the bottom side of the dash beneath the glove box. I was very upset to see that, I thought either my winshield or panoramic moonroof seals went bad. I am going to try this and report back.

Finally had a chance to clear the line. Mine was a bit more stubborn than just squeezing it. I had to pull the hose through from the bottom through the floorboard/firewall. From the bottom end, I stuck a shish-kebab skewer all the way up the hose and it broke free and into a cup I had waiting. Interestingly, there was NO debris in the cup to explain the blockage. Very weird...

When this happened, you had a problem with the windows fogging up and there was a strange smell, there was also dust coming out of mine?

From inside the car, like shown in this camera angle, I had to pull the hose all the way up into the car through the floorboard/firewall, to access the bottom end (couldn't access underneath as a bigger guy, even wtih the car up on blocks).

Good to hear that it worked for you. It has been over a year since I cleared it and have had no issues. I am sure it might happen again at some point. You could always disconnect the hose and blow air into it to clear it out like other have commented.

It's been a year since I did this on my car and it's still good. You could take the line off and clean it with a straw brush or air compressor.
