Afternoon folks

Whenever it rains heavily, I notice water in the driver's footwell of my 53 plate Yaris. The photos are taken after there was rain overnight and as you can see, there is a fair bit of water. I am struggling to get my head around where it's coming from. Any help/solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Did you drive it in the rain or it sat overnight under the rain?

Wow! That's a crazy amount of water. Good luck figuring that one out.

Looks like the cowl drains get plugged up.

Cheers, i'll have a look!Perhaps some seal are not tight, like door seals or windshield is leaking.

I can't see how a missing drain plug would flood your cabin overnight.

OP: Which side is driver's side? Do HVAC box drain tube plug-ups always cause overflow onto right front side of the cabin floor? (Is anything up front different between left and right-hand drive Yarii except the steering wheel, glove boxes and passenger airbag location?)
