For the passenger side you will need:
- one (1) ⅜" barb coupling;
- one (1) ½" x ½" x ⅜" barb T-fitting;
- ⅜" ID tubing;
-5 zip ties (used as clanps).
I used brass fittings but you can use whichever material you prefer.
When you lift up the passenger carpet you will see the AC evaporator drain tube. It would not hurt to add a little silicone to the grommet where the tube passes through the floor.
Here is a alternative method to address the driver side front drain.

Also, the driver's side procedure isn't loading.
I did notice that yesterday, on the driver's side only tho, that while my A pillars were off this was happening whenever I poured water onto the sunroof drain: https://streamable.com/c8baxs. Do you think that this would mean there's a problem with the driver's hose or the sunroof pan gasket?

Re: the passenger side drain:
I cut the AC drain line just before the grommet in the floorpan and spliced in the t-fitting. Then, the ⅜" tube (from the sunroof) goes to the t-fitting. It should look similar to what member Jesse123456 posted:
Only difference was that I ran everything under the insulation to keep it neat.
As for the left side, you will have to check that the hose itself is still attached to the upper sunroof drain. You will likely have to lower the headliner slightly to check. You shouldn't have any water dripping on that airbag module.

Also, for the driver's side, I was also referencimg the link that you initially posted (for the routing) as not loading. Thanks.

Here is the link to a alternative remedy for the driver side leak. Member 03Mach69Mach opted to drill a hole in the floor (near the dead pedal) and run the drain tube that way Driver Side Floor Drain. I will likely go that route as I prefer all drains to exit to the ground and have zero potential for water to get near any electronics or other vital components.
