Where is the A/C supposed to drain on the ground?

They reinstalled it the proper way and it's all set - the part was still in good condition, just "collapsed" as they call it. It's a one time fix, as it gets installed at the factory incorrectly. Once it's aligned properly, it shouldn't need to be fixed again.

What I was surprised at is how big the part is. The picture in the TSB does it no justice. I figured it was a 1" diameter part with a 1/4" hole or so. The thing is actually pretty darn big as it sat in nearly the entire palm of his hand, and the hole is a good 1" or so.

Forgot to mention - my car was born in March 2010.

Are they stripping the car down or just sending you on your way. Watch for mold!!! My car was covered in it from only a week of being wet.

Nasty! It'll be difficult to see with black interior. And it's been wet off and on for a few weeks...there is no smell though...

Hello,

Where is the A/C supposed to drain on the ground? in the center of the car? My car has been running in the driveway for about an hour with the A/C on max to test to see if the A/C drains. It's about 95ºF outside. So far al I see is a tiny drop, one drop, under the center of the car near the tranny. Is this the place? should there be more ? Any service bulliten on it we can upload as PDF ?

Well I just put my 2010 camaro in shop . Cuz my back floor board on passenger side was wet . thats where all my water from my a/c was going. Now they want to keep it for another six weeks cuz the carpet is on back order . cuz my carpet molded from all the water from ac draining into it . So check your back floor board behind passager seat.
