Well I found mine, two of them at least, what an "udderly" disgusting experience. Mind you I can clean a fish and whatnot but I simply am not ready to do invasive body searches on this bucket of bolts. I walked in the door hands up like a surgeon begging the SO to get me a bottle of alcohol. Probably could have used one for sterilization also.
I begged to get taken to the hospital for a tetanus and rabies vaccine only to be informed we do not have rabies and a cut is needed for the former. I will definitely use rubber gloves next time. Now the wait for lockjaw and hydrophobia.

Speaking of udders, don't forget to clean out the A/C condensate drain. Mine got clogged and I had nearly a quart of water sloshing around the inside of the dashboard this summer.

Has anyone had one of these udders fall off? When I first got my car I found one on the frame of the car. Had no idea what they were at the time.

Happened to me too... fortunately I was able to dry everything out with no lasting ill effects. Now I just have to get that darn condensate drain back on!

For more info on cleaning your udders and the a/c condensated drain, read Bill Curlee's excellent post in the C5 tech forum. Plenty of detailed pics!

I just put up another post on this, but you can just yank the udders out of their holes and clean them out and re-install them instead of the whole massaging procedure. It allows you to really clean them good.... They just pop right back in.
