Hey, i got a wet passenger footwell, this comes from the ac drain, i tried to clean it, but could reach inside, is there any way to remove the hose or to clean this any other way?

I know this is a common problem, nobody has a permanent fix for this?

Knowing what vehicle you have would be helpful.

My F1 had the punched piece of carpet stuck in the drain tube. Presumably from new.
It was only when I fixed the aircon my wife's feet got wet !!

The AC drainage pipe just pulls off the heater assembly, and pulls out the bulkhead.
It's likely blocked, possibly with carpet like andyfreelandy above.

It shouldn't be that hard to remove, it's just a rubber pipe pushed onto the outlet of the heater box on one end, and pushed into the bulkhead at the other. It's many years since I've taken a drain tube out, but I think I'm remembering right.

Can you not poke a piece of wire up it if you can't remove it ?

I have tried that, tried some air to, still leaking inside, i know this problem was fixed in 2018, 3 months after same problems happend, have some paper work of a garage fixing it, so maybe they installed it wrong, or got some carpet between?
