ah ok... though i thought the a/c hose is on the passenger side? and had the a/c on for over an hour yesterday no probs

i will check under the footwells asap though just thought someone else might have had wet feet when turning a corner, doesnt help if barefoot and already slippery during a downpour :o :lol:

well checked below both footwell's and can confirm the a/c drain is not clogged though as for driver side issue still a mystery???

do other owners on the forum ever notice any rust on the metal steering column cover underneath the dash?

Not sure if the NB was similarly affected, but I've seen NAs in which, after rain or a wash, water drips down the black plastic panel immeidately to the right of the accelerator pedal. The water subsequently gets under the carpet & soaks the underfelt. Perhaps your right foot is getting wet when it's on the accelerator pedal up against this panel from water that perhaps drips down it.
