This is correct. There is an issue with the design where the sponge behind the drain actually tears or something and blocks the drain from opening. Lexus will removed the grommet and pull out the sponge stuff from there. It sucks to get to and service because you have to remove the midpipes etc to get up there. I had a stale AC smell and what I did was remove the cabin filter, buy the a/c service kit made by Wurth. and spray it into the intake in the cowl and into the vents. It kills all mold and then you release and air freshener inside the car that will also go through the vents and keep things smelling nice.

I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

I just like whatever is written by you, take care of your health.

Hey, THanks for this suggestion and support, i would check and buy them to fix.
