Wet Toyota Floorboard FIX -Matrix-Vibe-Corolla-Camry

- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- I have been having issues with my passenger side floor being wet and I set out to find out why. Looks like the AC hose was lose and the water was just pooling up in the floor. If you have water in the floor of your Toyota Corolla or Matrix in the summer time, its probably water coming from the air conditioner. The water is meant to go down the little black tube under the glove box but instead it goes into the floorboard. The solution is simple. Replace the black hose that the water drains from. Then pull the drain plugs on the bottom of the car to let the water out of the floor.
I hope this helps! It sure is annoying.

This was literally the problem and we reconnected the pipe. You are my hero!
Ten years later still saving lives my freind
💯
My man thank you!! Worked like a dream on my 2007 Matrix. I know it's nothing but I feel like a badass mechanic now 😂💪🏼
Thank you for making a video that's short, gets straight to the point and shows exactly what needs to be done! You just solved a problem I've been having for over a month now. I was about to take my car to a mechanic and was going to cost me at least $50 for them just to look at! Thanks for the help I appreciate it 100%
Happy to help. This issue lasted far longer than a month for me. So simple once you know.
I'm having a similar issue but it's not leaking from that hose I checked, it's coming from closer to behind the glove box, any ideas?
Well thank you I appreciate it because now it’s actually leaking even when I turn my heat on but basically I was using my defrost and I was putting my temperature at low and then just using the fan which acted very much like the air conditioner even though it wasn’t turning Aceon
And all of a sudden it just started pouring water everywhere especially when I turn either to the left or the right like it’s just dumping and emptying out on my carpet so the front and the back is completely wet and this has been going on for at least a week or two
Which of course in the long term is going to be a real problem if I don’t get it taken care of so I had actually contacted in a guy who does some mechanical work for me and he said that it had something to do with my condenser but I think maybe the problem is exactly what you were having but I’ll have to look at it during daytime hours
Hopefully I’ll be able to clear this problem up as soon as possible
I happen to live in my car I’ve been living in my car for seven years and I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla
So it might’ve been leaking a lot longer than I was aware of because I have a box or did have a box in the back floorboard on the passenger side that was covered in mold underneath and two years ago I ended up in the hospital in ammonia so that might’ve been the problem is that all this time it’s been leaking it just got really bad recently that enough to notice her
Makes it really hard when you have to defrost your windows and all you hear is trickling of waters like somebody turn the faucet on low as soon as you put the heat on
I was prepared to take the car into the shop if I couldn’t resolve the issue myself. Hopped on google to look up ac related condensation/leaks and found this video. So easy and fast with the added tip about the floorboard drain plugs that I had no idea about. Thanks so much for taking your time to share this!
The ENTIRE floorboard of a family member's 2000 Camry has been sopping wet on and off for a while. We've had no rain for 2 weeks, so it isn't the windshield or sunroof. We watched this video. The tube was completely stopped up! At Least a gallon of water dumped out! Your suggestion worked! Fixed in TEN MINUTES!! Thank you!!!
Happy to help! It's a real problem to have that water on the floor.
I have the same issue with my 2001 Toyota Camry. Which side is the hose on? The passenger or the drivers side? My entire floorboard is soaked just like yours!
Hey man i know I'm about a decade late but this just help me out so much. I was getting wet carpets on both the passenger and driver stuff and every time I turned i could hear the water. I reconnected the hose just now. I popped off the passenger side rubber seal and it dripped a little like in the video but when i popped off the driver side one it immediately started draining and i rolled from under the car with the biggest smile. Dude thank you!! I need this car for work✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Thanks so much. I have been plagued by this problem the last few months with my 2012 Camry SE. Both front passenger and rear passenger were completely soaked with 3/4" of water. Thought maybe at first I let my windows down or it was leaking from the sunroof. At first when I watched your video I went out and ran my AC full blast for about 15 mins to see if it was dripping down from beneath the car. Sure enough, no water was dripping from the AC drain line! I pulled back the front passenger side flooring and sure enough, there it was. The hose was completely out of the rubber grommet.I shoved it back in and put some RTV silicone around it, hopefully it will stay in place now. I had to tear out all the sound dampening material from under the carpeting, now just waiting for it to dry. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks for a good, concise video that wasn't 20 minutes long. It was to the point. Thank you!
Happy to help!
This video saved my bacon. Out on vacation in high desert with soggy floorboards. Found the drain hose wasn't threaded through floor. Reinserted, pulled all the undercarriage plugs and squeezed out the water just as shown in the video. Much thanks for this Toyota tip.
+Christopher Jones happy to help! This issue bothered me for a month. Simple fix that I think toyota should work on. :) enjoy vacation.
My hero. My 2005 Matrix was leaking like crazy! Thank you. Still no major maintenance issues in 2023 with 240k miles.
Happy to help. I was driving my 06 matrix until last week when a flatbed truck smashed it. 233k miles.
@@LandtoHouse Thank god you survived. It served you well to the last mile
Here i am, 9 years later and thanking you for saving me $$$ to have someone at a shop do this. Thank you for the clear and to the point video.
From what I can see this is a timeless toyota issue. 20 years of drain hose disconnects. Happy to help save you money.
Thanks a bunch! This helped fix my 2010 Corolla, it has the flashing vsc light and traction control light was constant, and check engine light, tried to reset the lights, but the problem persisted. This obviously was bigger than some signal lights, checked the tube, made sure the connections were tight, no more light! Thanks again!!
I have a 2004 and have been having the same problem, Living in Florida we have the AC going almost all of the time. This looks easy enough for me to try. Single mom on elementary school pay check = someone with zero money to spare. Thank you for taking the time t make this video! I saw two others fix this problem , but they did not show the drain hole under the car. That is great to know about.
+Elizabeth Warden I'm happy to know that my video helped. This is one of those fixes that anyone can do.
Thought my wet floor in my 07matrix was gunna be a big problem-found your video in the car and fixed the tube&I started draininf the floor by the time my bf out of the gas station store!! THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!
You are very welcome! I struggled with this issue for over a month before realizing what the issue was. Nothing like all your stuff getting wet because someone kicked a small tube. Happy to help.
I have a 99 Toyota Camry .. and woke up to this damn floor flooded .. found the hose in the front. Ty so much!!! U saved me so much money 💰
OMG!!!! Thank you so much!!! I was able to fix my 2003 Corolla. I was afraid I would have to pay $$$. You dear Sir are a lifesaver!!!🤗🤗🤗
It really is a simple fix. Happy to help. Glad you didn't have to spend money at a dealership
Thanking you brother I have such a hard time finding info on the Toyota matrix and you explain everything in a simple understanding way thanks man should post more videos of the toyota matrix
This was exactly what happened to the Corolla and thanks to you, it was an extremely easy fix. Thanks
It can be annoying if you dont know what to fix. Luckily this one is easy. Happy to help.
what year Corolla mate? I've got a '97 and it gets water on the passenger side floor pan
This issue has been in place for at least 20 years. Your car likely has that tube.
@@LandtoHouse i'm going hardcore on it to find the cause in the next week....... i'll let you know what it turns out to be.
Saved me a trip to the dealer. I have very thick rubber floor mats that have been hiding the water until it became enough to slosh around. I've had my matrix for 6 years and this is the second time this happened and the first time I had a mechanic fix it but I didn't know what he did. Thank you!
+jmj227 It can definitely build up a lot of water in a hurry. a real headache. I'm happy to help. It's a rather Simple Solution when you know what to do
Yeah, I had been smelling a musty smell for a while but couldn't figure out why. On a very hot day when I had been running the A/C heavily, I parked on a hill and all the water ran to the back and I finally saw all the water. I now have a dehumidifier running inside the car to dry it all up.
+jmj227 those rubber plugs help a lot to drain the large puddle. Mine was so bad that it started to puddle across into the back seat.
Thank you so much. I knew my hose is broken but wasn't sure if I could replace it myself! THANK YOU!!!
This helped me!!! The people who installed my ac didn’t put the hose back through that hole. Flooded my passenger side… uggggh, glad it was a quick fix though
It's amazing how quickly the floorboard can fill up with water.
Just found water on my floor this morning! Racking my brain on the problem ??? Your video fixed my problem I did not even know was a problem. Thumbs up .....Thumbs up .......Thumbs up
Nice to hear your floorboards will be dry again!
Exactly the problem on my 2007 Corolla, thanks a bunch, huge headache solved.
Happy to help. It is a real problem.
Thank you very much!! Had the same problem with my 2007 Toyota Matrix. My father appreciated your help as he was getting frustrated trying to figure out the problem.. Thank you again!!
+Cindy Baker I feel his frustration. When I first had the lake form in the floorboard it drove me crazy (short trip). Happy to help.
The tube in my Coralla (0:46) was connected so that wasn't the roblem. I removed it and ran water through it in my kitchen sink. A big glob of leaves and stuff came out! Put it back together. All good. Thanks for the video.
At least its fixed! Nice to know that debris can get down that far.
Thank you for this!!! That was the issue in my gf's car and has been for 4 months now, can't believe it's that easy!
It is so easy to fix. .... Also so easy to cause haha. Hope this fixes all your issues.
Just did this to my 2008 Toyota Corolla. Thank you! This video was incredibly helpful. What a dumb place to put a hose that is so easily disconnected!
Happy to help. This issue has been going on for so long. It really is a dumb place to have an AC hose.
I'd like to leave a BIG thank you...I wasn't sure what was leaking in the car, but after seeing your video, I went right to the hose after pulling the carpet back and there it was...once again...Thank You!!! :)
It's a pretty easy fix if you know what to look for. Happy to help.
I am going to give this a try. Thank you for making the video. I will let you know how it works out.
Your Video is a life saver. I didn't have to spend a dime especially with technicians that do a lot of guess work.... change this change that! Kudos!
I hear you. This is such an easy fix. There is no need to go to the shop if you know whats going on.
Bro you saved my life, there was a small tropical storm yesterday. This morning in my backseat was literally 2 to 3 inches of water. A d it's a een going on fore er thank you
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for this video. It was the first video I looked up on RUclips regarding this issue. Lots of forums TOLD me what to do, but I needed the visual as I am not terribly mechanically inclined. Sure enough, I did everything you said in the video, and the AC hose was indeed totally off the port! All fixed now; you saved me a lot of $. It's much appreciated! :)
I hear you. RUclips is one of the first places that I go for finding out what to do on a project or issue. This one was so annoying I just had to share when I learned what to do.
I had the same problem, and I knew where the water was leaking from. Turns out my car didn’t even have the hose in the first place! Just gotta find one now, thanks
Thank you so much ! You saved us on our 2011 Toyota Corolla ! It worked!! You saved us a trip to the shop👍
That's great. I'm happy it fixed your problem. Seems like this has been an issue with Toyota for about 20 years
I should have looked for this BEFORE I took my seats out. This was exactly my problem, thank you for posting this!
Oh wow. That was a lot of work. Yes this little hose can make a large lake in the floorboard!
Thanks for the video. I had a similar experience with my 2007 Matrix. It was fixed by the Technician exactly the same way you indicated.
I changed the oil, filter, then drain and filled the transmission on my girlfriends matrix. She mentioned the AC leaking.. your video was exactly her problem. Prior person had sold the car after being told their "heater core" was clogged and would be 3k+ to fix. Well I took a peak, sure enough- hose wasn't hooked up 😂😂😂👍 she is still in shock
HA well now you know! Much cheaper fix.
Thank you so much, you saved us a trip the mechanic on our 2008 Corolla. Your video showed us exactly what we needed to know.
+Kathy Thompson I am happy to help. A simple solution to an annoying problem.
Thanks a lot for sharing this. I put the hose back up and put some tape around the hose and the plastic housing to hold it up.
Happy to help! This is a pain for sure.
Thanks for helping out many people with similar issues. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. This problem drove me crazy for a few weeks so I'm happy to help others.
Thank you so very much! My husband sent me your video and it will help us so much to fix our Toyota Corolla.
+Ingrid Tapia great! Yes such a simple fix and it saves you from having a lake in the floorboard.
7 years later and this vid helped me a lot! thank you!
Thank you!! 2014 Corolla here; my lower tube was actually clogged for some reason. Blew it out with compressed air and no more flooding inside!
+Chris Kleczynski I'm not really sure what clogs that pipe. There have been a few others mentioning that same problem. I'm glad it's fixed it sure is annoying to have all that water everywhere.
Yeah seemed very odd considering how clean it was. Only think I can think is some insects crawled in there, but I didn't seem much come out when I blew it out(but it was fairly dark).
Only other thing I could think is there's an occasional defect in the rubber of that portion and forceful blowing tears open the defect like a valve.
That does make sense. Bugs and mice seem to get into all kinds of places that we dont want them.
awesome. 2003 matrix I just got and was bummed about this happening. Now I know how to fix it... Thanks.
It's a nice easy fix!
Hey thanks! Just had the same problem start with my 2003 Corolla. AC hose was in the same place and disconnected. Floor stoppers in the same place too. Thanks for the video!
+Stephens Gerard Malone happy to help. It was a real pain when it first happened to me. I thought it was a rain issue.
thanks it worked, figure I saved $100 to $150, thanks! I had to drive mine for about 10 minutes b4 my vsc, trac , and ck engine light came off, after I cleared the blockage of my condensation tube, the line drained almost a quart of water, I heard it sloshing around behind the dash in the evaporator area. I also had a wet carpet passenger side and had to unblock the a/c condensation line, I just had to peel the carpet back next to the console, it was blocked more where the hose emptied to the ground, probably a bug nest? 2010 toyota matrix, also a button under the dash at steering wheel to cut off the remote air pressure system I think. The obs port is nx to the hood release pull in the lower part of the plastic dash, it says obs but is hard to see unless you are looking for it. I might paint the recessed letters (obs) in red or white so easier to see.
Thank you so much dude! My car's right passenger seat and back seat on the right side floor had been submerged by an inch or two of water. I put the hose back in place and soaked out the water with a towel. I'm gonna wait for my day off to shampoo the floor xD Thanks so much for the help man!
+xDr.DeathDefyingx nice to help! That floor lake is a real bummer!
Your video was awesome! So helpful to my dad and myself! We got his Matrix fixed up in no time! What a dumb design by Toyota! Thanks again!
Appreciate the video. I put the house back in place but didn't know about the drain plug, big thanks for that.
It can make draining the lake a lot faster. :)
I have a 2010 corolla & sure enough... same issue!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for this!
Happy to help. I am not sure how far back the issue goes but at least 2006.
Land to House any suggestions for the best way to get rid of the water that doesn’t drain out & the best way to get it cleaned out?
This was 100% my exact problem. Thanks! Now to get the carpet cleaned...
Happy to help! It can be such a pain.
Thank you so much for that simple fix for a perplexing problem! You and RUclips ROCKS!
Happy to help. Nothing like stepping into a pond .... inside the car. haha
thanks for your video, i have a leak in my 04 Corolla, and this is going to be the first thing i check
You are very welcome! It was so annoyed having up to 1/2" of water in the floor.
Thank you so much for this! I have an 08 Corolla, and the tube is completely missing. I have no idea what happened. I stuck a water bottle underneath the top part where the water is coming out for now. This video was a huge help! :)
Happy to help. It sure can be a pain when the car floor is a lake.
Great info and video. My son has a water issue with his Camry. I'm going to look into this. Thanks!
I have the same problem in a Corolla 2014, Thank you sooooo much for taking the time
Happy to help! From what I have gathered this issue has been going on for over 20 years.
Thank you so much for this! Had the same problem with my Corolla 03 and fixed it using your video. :)
abc40451 Nice! I am happy to help. I guess the Corolla is the same base as the Matrix so things are the same. . . . Sad to hear the poor design has been around over 13 years.
Great information. Explains why it is so wet!
Thanks dude! Solved a 6 month mystery!
Great!!!!! Just saved me a trip to the mechanic. Thank you for our video.
Happy to help. This has been an issue for people for years now. I hope they fix this in new models.
You’re a life saver - happened in my 07 matrix. Was literally just about to take it in
Apparently there's over 20 years worth of this problem. I'm happy to help before you took it in
I’ve had similar problem on my 2005 Toyota camry, thanks for the video.
Thanks for posting this. Exactly my problem. Now just drying out all the stuffing.
Happy to help. It is a simple fix but annoying to take care of.
I am going to try this in my 2006 Toyota Solara Convertible. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
I am not sure if that model has the same hose placement but its well worth a look. Hope it helps.
Thank you so much!!!! I had the same exact issue with my friend's 2006 Toyota corolla and I was losing my mind! I would soak up the water and it would just come back! This solved it your awesome!
You are very welcome! I understand about losing your mind! This bothered me for over a month before I figured it out. Nothing like sitting in a lake every time you drive. Be sure to let people with big feet know not to kick up that far under the dash. :)
I certainly will thank you so much again!
Thank you!!!! That was it. Now, just need to get everything dried out. My wife's '05 Corolla smells better already. You were wrong on one point, it's not kind of a bad design, it is a bad design. Thanks again.
You should have those rubber stoppers too. That helps to drain the water. .... Yes what a bad design! anyone with large feet will have this issue often.
I've been having this problem since yesterday. I can't tell you how thankful I am that you posted this video!
Thanks dude, just saved me a ton of trial and error on the same problem. Thanks for sharing!
Nice to hear you have fixed the waterfall in the floorboard. :)
Wow I always thought it was the roof leaking but never thought it would be such a easily fix thanks
I was right there too. I checked the windows and rood and all kinds of things. Such a simple fix.
Thank you for this quick and simple video! I've had this going on for at least a week and the car now smell like mildew (it grows in minutes here in Florida). The Toyota engineer responsible for this design should be force to come steam clean my car... :D
You are very welcome. I tell you what. This issue drove me crazy for at last 2 weeks. The mold grows in hours here in North Carolina. :) if you get that Toyota designer send him my way.
This is seriously exactly what happened to me. thank you so much, I live in texas so you might of just literally saved a life!
+Seth Anguiano oh yah! It is wild that a hose is just hanging around like that. Happy to help.
+Seth Anguiano oh yah! It is wild that a hose is just hanging around like that. Happy to help.
oh yah! It is wild that a hose is just hanging around like that. Happy to help.
Thanks so very much. What a poor design !! The two hoses were in fact separated. Put em back together and got my fingers crossed. Hoping I just saved us a trip to the repair shop !!
Jordan Cv Tell me about it! If someone with big feet steps into the car they are bound ti kick that hose at some point. After getting mine reconnected I have had ZERO problems. I do hope this works for you.
Thanks Seth! I've been having a leaky drain as well... puddle of water for my passengers and a floor carpet that gets soaked and worried it would get mildew or mold. whew, THANKS again :)
Happy to help. Once I learned about this issue I have not had any more problems. It would be nice if they would update this issue.
Thanks. That's what happened to my daughter's car and was an easy fix. Appreciate it.
Nice! Happy to hear the video was helpful!
Thank you so much! It's funny...had this problem for 2 years, and fixed it in 2 minutes lol
Once you pull the two black rubber seals from the bottom. Cut a 1”x5” strip of cloth, insert 3 inches of each cloth inside each of the two holes & trap the inserted part under the floor’s wet pad. Let the remaining part of the cloth hang down from the hole & see it draining the water out & dripping it out on the ground .
Dude, this was ridiculously helpful. I had no idea what the heck was going on. Thank you!
Nice! Yes it was so annoying when it first happened to me! Happy it helps.
Thanks for the re-fresher... fixed my 2004 Yota corolla, Again!
It amazes me how long this issue has been going on. Happy to help.
Holy crap, that was easy! Thanks a million for making this video 😮
this guy is a legend
Thanks. Just pulled the passenger side carpet back on my 2013 Camry and there was the hose, just hanging there. Popped it right back through the floorboard grommet .
Perfect My daughters Corolla had exactly the same issue thank you very much.
I am happy to help!
Thanks a lot...same problem on my 2008 Corolla. Your advice worked. Much appreciated!
LB60 nice! Happy to help.
Exactly the fix for my 2003 Corolla. Now if it soon warms up, I can drain the water that's now frozen. November in Rochester NY.
This seems to be an issue in toyota for 15 years. Good luck finding the warm day to drain the water!
You are so amazing thank you so much for the fixed I would have never found this on my own
I am about to try this on my 08 Toyota Corolla, the hose has definitely become separated. Thanks so much for this video :)
It is amazing how fast the car fills up with water. Happy to help.
Thanks for this! I have a 2014 Corolla which I purchased used in 2016. Apparently they did not fix this in that year either.
Happy to help. It has been an issue with toyota cars over the past 11 years at least.
Nice, Easy and to the point. Cheers!
Brother. Thank you so so much. I don't think I could have figured this out so easily without this video. Thank you Thank you.
Happy to help. This one was annoying for me when it first happened. Such an easy fix.
I was so confused about why the carpets were wet. Never occurred to me that AC condensate was the issue.
Yes. I first thought that the windshield was leaking. But that did not make sense after a few weeks with little to no rain.
I assumed it was rusted floor pan (which I experienced in cars for the 1970's). But looking at the condition of the metal in the car, that seemed unlikely. But one quick Google of "Wet carpets in Corolla" brought up the answer.
Straightforward, great video, just excellent all around. THANK YOU!
Happy to help. This is an issue with most Toyota's for the past 20 years.
Thank you! That fixed my 2004 Corolla. So grateful!
Happy to help!
Can you share your experience with me pls.
@@babarindeakinduro5822 So far, the floor is staying dry. It's getting a real test this week. I'll let you know if it changes but I think the fix worked. :)
@@LandtoHouse How long did it take for your floor to completely dry? I drained all water using the plug and shop vac'd water from above. Does is just take time or do you have another trick for thorough drying?
@@psuessutube it took quite some time. I drove with the windows down whenever possible. Overnight the windows would fog over there was so much moisture
Thank you so much for your help!!! My car had the exact same issue and this did the trick!!!
It looks like it isn't the A/C hose but something to do with the sunroof drain. Anyhow, I had completely forgotten to check the floorboards for drain plugs! Duh, brain fart! Thank you for that!
The vehicle that I have does not have a sun roof. It only has AC hoses down there.
Those drains can be very helpful otherwise you'll have to soak things up with a towel
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so very much! This has been bugging me for months!
+Oladeji Yemi-Joshua I am happy to help. It sure is annoying to have all that water in the floor.
Thanks! Your vid helped.me locate.the drain tube in my Celica.so I could.check it before I had trouble.
That's good thinking ahead.
this was super helpful. had the same issue in my 2015 corolla
Happy to help!
This was the exact problem I had and it fixed it. Thank you so so much!!
Happy to help. No more sloshing around in your car floorboard
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I was going to take it to someone.This is EXACTLY what it was.
+Michelle Welch ha ha nice. Happy to help you get the issue solved. An inch of water in the floor is no fun.
Thanks, this was a great explanation of this issue and the simple solution worked a charm!
Good! It bothered me for some time and it was so nice to find the solution.
