I'm looking for an evaporator drain tube for an 02 TJ. This part appears to be getting hard to find. I found it at www.factorychryslerparts.com for $11 but the shipping is almost a much as the part and really seem like a screw job. The problem is worth the $21.00 fix but I hate to give in to a screw job.

Here's a little background information. My passenger side floor is soaking wet and sometimes has as much as an inch of water. The evaporator drain is not clogged. Water is dripping out of it when the Jeep is at idle and the AC is on. Research revealed a technical service bulletin and several forum threads indicating that the problem is a missing evaporator drain tube and when I looked, it is missing.

Is this something I could fix with stuff I could get from a local part store or Home Depot? I tried to measure the outer diameter of the Evap drain tube but where it is makes this difficult.
