I've done a search and was in the process of boring a hole to try and clean out heater core as water is pouring in from behind glove box when it rains.I noticed a square plastic box on side of heater(top of passengers feet) that looks like it has clips and was wondering what it is and if there's a filter inside?.Any help would be appreciated as i can't find drain tubes either. TIA |

Im doubting it has a pollen filter . In the case of leaf sprung sierras the drains are in the engine bay on the firewall . Put your finger up these and feel for crap blocking them up. |

TIA Square plastic box with clips on it, above passengers feet. In my leafy this is the A/C. Wazz wrote: Im doubting it has a pollen filter .

Although mine still leaks after cleaning them, most people resort to plating this up. |

Take the grill below the windscreen off, and remove the tray. Check for cracks etc? |

Yes, take that gill off (just a few push-in clips holding it in), but no need to remove anything else and get a garden hose and clean out the drain flap which drains excess water into the engine bay. I have found the drain flap gets a bit 'sticky' and doesn't drain at all after being clogged with dust, henceforth water running onto the passenger floor after a highspeed r/h corner. |

Thanks for all the replies,i'll give it a go before boring holes as the heater still works. Car doesn't have Air,it looks like a square box with clips but will try & take a photo. |

Same goes for a leafy? I don't remember a leaf Sierra having removable plastic clips, but same principle. I'm pretty sure on my Stepfathers Sierra we just used forced water from a hose into the grill beneath the windscreen to clear it out. |

Tin top leafy definetly doesnt have a removable grille below windscreen. I took my heater box apart and cleaned it out properly and replaced all the foam seals. |

Oh, I thought you were meaning to take the dash apart from the inside. Nothing unbolts from the outside thats for sure. |
