I have a water leak that I assume is the AC drain line that is soaking the carpet in the front passenger floorboard.

I found the drain line behind the panel and under the carpet by the firewall. I used compressed air from underneath the car, I fished a wire into the tube towards the dash and down into the little black diverter (i guess that's what it is) and that seemed to work in the drive way, but after I took it for a drive, it started leaking again.

Any words of advice for an easy fix so I don't have to mess with the dealership?

Any ideas are Much appreciated!

Determine the source of the leak.

A/C HVAC condensate drain?
Sunroof (if equipped) drain tube.
Windshield replaced or bad bodywork history?

Then form plan of attack. Poking fixes to most likely candidates or suppositions are a waste of time.
 
I took mine in to the service dept and they fixed it for free.

Here's the issue with plugging the sunroof (moonroof) drain tubes:

The seal that surrounds the sliding parts (glass or metal, ANY Mfr) are NOT 100%. Otherwise it couldn't move.
During heavier downpouring rain or high pressure carwash rinse, some water WILL get past. Now what do you do? If enough, it will ride over the rails and stain the headliner and drip through. If just a little; it could puddle and rust through.

Unless you have sealed the perimeter with silicone, one MUST have free and functioning drains.
