If you've got a switch to select between outside air and re-circulated air make sure it is set to outside. That one had me fooled for a while.

Agree with dnb, mine leaks like a seive around the drivers side rear light, despite several attempts by me and others to seal it. Just whip out the rubber bungs if you are collecting water.

I recently had this problem and it was (as the guys above say) the switch from re-circulate to ouside. Once it was put back to outside, no more problems.
