I can't believe the design of these things based on their intended function! It looks like the GM engineers took a low cost design approach to allowing water to drain. Maybe I'm missing something...

Small animals (mice) might go through and build a nest in there.

Thanks Steve
Thank you for the udderly important information.......
Garaged cars are less likely to have as much in their udders as those that are kept outdoors parked under trees.

Through the access panel in the passenger side wheel well and removing the battery and going from the top. The passenger side doesn't have the udders, but instead has a long tube that twists and turns around towards the bottom of the car. Also, while you're in there it's not a terrible idea to check the a/c evaporator drain for debris as well to prevent a flooded BCM.

Another option, thought not nearly as creative or original, might be "dreck?"

[German, dirt, trash and Yiddish drek, excrement, both from Middle High German drec, from Old High German]
drecky adj.
I think I pulled mostly "zilch" from my Corvette's udders, but there was probably some "dreck" in there too.

We should all be unzilching and dedrecking our udders in the next couple of weeks.
