Default cowel drain location, wet rear pass. floor 4driver4?

I STFA, and have been trying to find the source of this problem. I'm getting a wet rear passenger floor when it rains. I've cleaned the drain under the battery, and my cabin filter is definitely not getting wet.

I found a post by 4driver4 that said it was the cabin filter or cowel drain, but I have no clue where to look for the cowel drain. I've searched my bentley book and can't find anything.

Check to see if the cowl is snapped in correctly, then check sunroof drains

Default Try searching for windshield replacement. The cowl is the black plastic...

shroud which runs across the rear of the firewall, just below the windshield. If it is not perfectly seated with all clips, then water drops right into the passenger compartment.

Default I had some crap wedged in next to the hood hinge and I think that caused water to back up and get

under the air box. It was acorns and leaves. My rear carpet was soaked. Cleaned it out and it was fine.
