>From Bernd:
Nope...actually a good design and won't flood the passenger side unless
the
A/C drain tube is clogged up because people don't clean up the leaves on
their cowl. Running the A/C with the windows open won't cause this -
the
A/C (by default) runs on fresh air anyway (through the cowl) unless it's
set
to recirc (which is much more efficient inside the cabin than outside).

Hate to do this but you are 1000% wrong on this one. I had to pump out
the
passenger side more than once due to this silly design. And the drain
tube
was NOT CLOGGED.

What happens is the humidity in the air condenses on the outside of
the evap box
on the inside of the cabin and drips down on the floor. With the
windows open the
humidity continually replenishes itself and leads to a flooded
passenger side. Has
ABSOLUTEY nothing to do with the status of the drain line.
