Default Aircon condensate drain

When I use the air conditioning water drips onto the front carpets and splashes out of the vents on the dashboard. I guess the problem is a blocked drain from the air conditioner. Can someone tell me where this is and the easiest way of clearing it?

I had posted this same question on July 17th and got great responses - I don't know how to copy the earlier message but go back to that day and look for thread - very helpful. Simple problem to fix. Good luck

Default Here it is

You have to take off the side panel, follow the procedure on audipages.com for the V60 hands free phone installation. There is one on both sides. And at least one person did only the passenger side and it worked.

You just need to blow air through it or maybe a poker??

This is a great article for audipages. Somebody want to write it?

There are A/C drains on both sides. Mine were able to be blown out with compressed air.

Thanks to those who responded. The drains are now clear and the carpets are drying in the sun.
