Me too
Hey Noob here and just bought a 2007 XKR. FDrove it home 1250 miles only to suffer from this water leak. Bad thing is while on my drive I went over of miles for the warrantee. Now I guess I will need to do it or pay out the nose. Does anyone know the TSB. For that matter does anyone know a source for factory repair manuals?
Thanks! Loving what I am reading here.

Plan B
I'm thinking maybe there's an easier way to fix this clogged drain tube. Instead of removing the dash and replacing the drain tube (which is very labor-intensive and not an easy DIY job), what about using a shot of compressed air up the drain tube to free the blockage? I presume the drain tube is easily accessable from under the car. Any harm in trying?

Just had this done to my 2008 XKR Portfolio, tech told me there have been 2 revisions to the TSB and the solution involves a new style gasket at the drain opening in the evaporator housing. They don't have to pull the dash out complete but still very involved, took one day and was done under warranty.

A/C water
Well, just got my 07 xkr back from the dealer (out of warranty). They took the dash out and put a larger hose on the end (so I am told). $520 later no more leak :-) Kinda wish the guy I bought it from would have noticed this water issue about 1500 miles ago so it would have been covered under warranty.

I've not had the problem, however...
Any reader not under warranty within 100 miles of Matthews, NC might consider contacting Duncan at www.touringcarinc.com who recently described a much simpler, less expensive, relief of the leak symptom (perhaps fix/cure?) on a 2007 XKR. I don't recall the details, but the customer had reportedly been quoted circa $1,000 by a Jag dealer before bringing the problem to Duncan.
