Default Drain maintenance

just a reminder how important it is to keep the drains clear under the wiper motor.
Took 2 hours to get both cleared out on my “new” to me xjs.

Mine have rusted through... So it is very important to do that.

Mine get loads of water flushed through them on a regular basis. Like right now, as it's raining....

Mine did too, but once there is sh*t in them, the water will make things worse

And if the water gets high enough, it pours into the heater, out of the foot vents, onto the carpet, and rots out the floor.

2 hours? Geez.

I pulled mine about 6 years ago and squeezed/shook everything out and they have been clean since. Every once in a while I will squeeze them in the engine bay to check and see if they have anything in them.
