I have an endoscope which I used to find the duckbill but couldn't see it, I'm afraid it's up into the hole. I have ordered a new endoscope with higher resolution and more LEDs so hopefully I can see some more with it when it arrives.

I am also going to try to connect an endoscope to the tool so I can see it work. Regarding the endoscope, the one I have does not give a clear picture. The range of focus is not correct. I am looking for one that has a .5” to 1.5” range of focus and that works for this application.

Thank you

I tried the turn on full fan speed and close vents trick, it worked once... then not again.
My fix was easy if temporary.
Listen, I think most of you can reach the rubber duckbill with with your fingertip.
Start by removing the 4 screws and oil cap that hold the engine cover in place.
Replace the oil cap just because...
Crawl up on the engine onto your knees on the passenger side.
Reach back with your hand on top of the Transfer Case and you will feel a little metal hole going up, maybe 3-4 inches. If you angle your hand a bit you can easily get your middle finger up in that hole, just remember high school and you will figure it out.
The tip of your finger can feel the rubber, as soon as I touched it, water came flowing out over my finger, much like high school...
I simply squeezed and flicked the duck bill and all the water drained out... (ok I wont repeat the high school thing again, but this would have been appropriate here too).
Anyway, now no more leak inside the cabin.
I may put a tad of silicone on my fingertip and rub that on the duckbill to help prevent it from plugging again.
This literally took me 5 minutes after contemplating the big fix and manufacturing a razor tool... for the past 2 months!
This is easy, sure it may happen again, but for 5 minutes, who cares.
In fact, now that I have done it, I could probably start to finish it in less that 3 minutes.
We will see if the silicone trick helps.

You were lucky this time in that the amount of water did not either short out your fan motor or equally expensive, short your control module. About $300 for each, unless you rebuild your control module like one member did. I was able to save my fan motor by dismantling and using WD-40, compressed air & time to allow it to dry out. It’s been 3 years since I sliced it and no problems since. Good Luck.
