Default Rain water leak passanger side footwell

Hello,
First time poster

When it rains i have water dripping in the side passager panel next to the door. I have been told its a hose that is clogged that is connected to the grate next to the windsheild you see when you open the hood. Could anyone provide a picture of which hose this is or give me more direction?
I don't want to unhook the wrong hose.

Please its been leaking for a couple months now and freaking maryland is having freaking record rain fall.

I suppose it could be the drain from the sunroof as well.
after taking the side panel between the window and windshield off there is water in there.

Well, if your coolant level has been good, then it is more then likely a clogged sunroof drain. You can usually blow them out with compressed air.

Welcome to the forum. As I understand it, there are 2 drains. They are located under the A pillars and run down from the sunroof to a plastic L that tends to either come loose or clog. You get to them by removing the A pillar covers inside the cabin.

Could someone post pics of the drains the next time they have the A pillar trim removed?
