I think I'm getting A/C moisture on the passenger side of my Jeep (the bottom of my Husky Liner was wet). I think I may have read somewhere that air pressure may be affecting the A/C drain and that placing an elbow on it will correct the issue. Anyone else experience this and/or have a suggestion for corrective action? I'm in South Texas, so running without the A/C is not an option. :-)
Thank you in advance for your help.

There is a TSB out on this problem. I think it is a free fix at the dealer.
TSB #24-012-01 - September 01 - Evaporator Drain Tube - Water Leaks Onto Passenger Floor
The AC evaporator drain tube sticks straight out into the engine compartment on the passenger side near the battery. First, check to see if it is clogged, and clean if necessary.
If it is not clogged and water still leaks into the passenger compartment, it's usually because water is being splashed back around the drain tube seal, especially at freeway speeds. The fix is to install a small "L" bend tube which points straight down. The water then drains properly without splash back.

I have a 99 TJ and had the same problem. I learned in this forum how to fix the problem. I took a piece of fuel line or heater hose or garden hose, (can't remember which it was), and glued it to the hard little drain pipe that sticks out of the firewall on the passenger side of the engine compartment. I just wiggled it over the pipe and I used silicone to glue it and piece of hose just needs to be long enough to prevent air from pushing the condensation back into the cabin.
So do I. I took my to the dealer for and oil change and a thirty something mile regular maint thingy and they tended to it. The leak has stayed fixed so far and as soon as the the weather quits raining long enough I am going pick the carpet up out of the yard and stick it back in the jeep where it belongs.
