SC2 still leaking

I'm just going to wing this without looking at pictures so I dont know if this is how the S-series is set up. That vented plastic trim between the wipers and the hood, remove it. Shoot that area with water. (not into the blowers snorkel) Is it draining or pooling?

Oh here try inspecting this spot

I did inspect the blower air intake seal and it's in like new shape. As this leak seems to be in the same place as the orig. one I brought it in for, I am taking it back to the techs to fix it right this time.

After looking at it myself, I saw that from last time where I had the tech clean out my sunroof drains and snip the ends of the drain plug to allow better drainage, he obviously couldn't get his big hands inside that tiny well in the front inside to snap back the drain tube rubber grommets into the hole, he just left the tubes laying there. I'm not too happy about that, I told the shop mgr.

That should eliminate one problem, however that wouldn't explain the eater I found up under the rubber mats behind and under the center console.

Today I ran a hose on various parts of the cowl, air refresher screen (under the hood), antenna hole and windshield base to verify where the water comes from. My back is killin' me, I had to remove the side kick panel molding on the pass side, peel back the rugs and rubber matting and watch as someone ran the hose.

I isolated it down to the cowl vents. I traced slow droplets from up in the deepest part of the upper under-dash under the glovebox where there is a sealant that meets at a point between the firewall and inside fender it seems to be. Had to lay on my back across the door threshold and put my head up under the glovebox, what fun, ow.

Gonna shove some towels up there till I can get it into the shop, hopefully I just saved alot of $$$ on diagnostic fees.
