Do you use the a/c. There is a little rubber elbow that can be found by looking under the hood at the lower firewall on the pass side.
They are notorius for falling off. When they do the the result is a wet pass carpet.

good the rubber elbow was still there. rich. i took the elbow off from my car. and took it down to the hardware store. and got a piece of hose that fit inside of the elbow. and installed it back on. i got enought hose so i ran it off to the side of the frame.

but the plastic piece that connects to the elbow is broken, so the elbow doesnt go back on the drip box thingy

How hard is it to remove the drip box? If it can be done without pulling the heater core you can swing by and swap yours out with mine since I don't use a/c anyway.
