water leak from cabin air filter housing
2002 S80 2.9L. when driving in rain few drops water leaks from the housing of cabin air filter under the passenger side dash board. The cabin air filetr was wet and the bottom black cover of the filter housing was also wet. How to trace this leak ? where is the cabin air intake ? Is it between the wipers with a plastic grille? Do I have to check any clogged areas for this water leak ?

It only leaks when I drive in rain. Recir setting has no effect. Is it possible to remove the plastic grill between wipers to see any clogging under the grill if it is the air intake location for the cabin air flow. The top of the grill is pretty clean without any leaves. thanks.

Tech, please assist with this one. I can get as much as two inches of rain water in the same area. You would think that the leak would be obvious but from the inside it is impossible to find with removing the dashboard. The molding surrounding the wipers looks to be a booger to remove, but I'm convinced that in order to get to the problem it must come off. The windshield is original and the sunroof is not the source.

There are 2 drain pipes for the cowl

Make sure they are clear, you can get at them from under the car.
