I don't know a permanent fix for this, but I can say I have seen this happen on fords and a jeep I used to own. Dusty roads and some overactive spiders seemed to be my main problem. I just carried a long zip tie and would ream it out a couple of times each summer once my mechanic friend clued me in.

I just replaced a cabin filter on a xD and noticed that they have a curved plastic cage above the filter, probably to prevent this sort of thing from happening. #7 ($4.46) But I doubt it'll fit the Yaris

curved plastic cage
That cage is in my 2010 3 door HB, but no filter or tray.

I just fixed the AC condensation leak for $2
I had the same problem with my 2008 Yaris. The drain was plugged with some mold or algae and water was sloshing and leaking into my passenger floor. The fix is simple. Go to the department or grocery store and get a turkey baster (I paid $2 for one). Lift your carpet back from the top under the passenger side of the floorboard. You will see a rubber hose about a foot long and one end goes into the floor/firewall, gently pull it out. Once removed from floor you can see into engine compartment. Fill a container with about a pint of water and a couple of ounces of bleach and mix. Now take the turkey baster and fill it full with the water mixture and blast it into the end of the rubber hose, holding the baster tight to the hose. Now squeeze it 4 or 5 times like you are unclogging a sink. Now pinch the rubber hose and snap it back into the hole in the floor board and the water should start flowing quickly. I repeated the process to more times and it works like a charm now. It saved me a $50 service charge and I now know what to do if it happens again.

Thread necro! I just did the quick drain fix on mine. Got about 2 cups of water out of it, but nothing that looked like a clog. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get an air filter next time I order parts...
On an unrelated note, I think I just found the entry site for my AFR sensor cable! |

For RHD cars it is the same but on the opposite side of the center console.
