saab 9-3 drain tubes locations

[dave08]

Hello. This is the second time I'm having a leak issue under the passenger side carpet and behind. There seems to be an accumulation of water that's only perceptible after long periods of rain. For instance, a good wash  won't cause even any humidity.
I've been told that these symptoms are exactly the same as the ones when a drain tube is clogged. Particularly in this case, it's location should be  behind the ashtray and down  bellow.
Are there any schematics/instructions of this in order to try a quick fix ? Is it necessary to take off lot's of things or I should be able to do it by myself ?
Thanks and regards.
Dave

Take a look under the bonnet, over the glovebox I think the pollen filter sits. You can get a lot of leaves hiding around here and they can cause the ingress of water.

Thanks I will ! Any idea how to get bellow the ashtray, the supposedly location of the drain tubes ?

Drainage hose is below the fresh air filter.  You have to remove the filter.  It's under the wiper blade area.

Where do you guys find this kind of documentation ?

The Saab Workshop Manual  - known as the Workshop Information System (WIS) can be found as a CD on the web.  There is also an Electronic parts Catalogue (EPC) which may include the Electronic Accessories Catalogue (EAC).

Thank you very much. I'll try to "get" it.
