Default Passenger drain udder?

Can this be seen from underneath? I'd like to check it. How do I get to it? Also is there 2 or 3 on the drivers side? I only found 2. Thanks!

Yes you can see the passenger one from underneath. Need to remove the panel that is on the rear of the passenger front wheelwell and under the car.

There are 3 on the drivers side. You can see two just by looking down at them. The third is behind those two and between them. You can feel all 3 reaching down if your arm is small enough.

Heres JUST what yu need!!

Do not remove the LONG passengers side tube. Just disconnect it from the cowl and plast it out with a garden hose. Its difficult to reinstall properly:








The drivers side has THREE and are easily removed for cleaning:

LOL!! I have MOOSE HANDS and I can reach in from the top:





There is an access panel in the rear side drivers & passengers wheel well that you can remove and access that void.

SAME FOR BOTH SIDES:

The rubber udders just POP OUT and POP back in. The third one in the group is a little tougher to reach but you can do it.

The very first time I checked mine (after the well filled with water and killed the wiper control module) they were SOLID with tree crud!

No one will believe this but when I checked mine on the drivers side, I squeezed one and heard a "clank". A large pegboard hook had fell out of one. How and why was it in there? Who knows .

LOL! If you rip the large passengers side tube out from the top, It will take you ALL DAY to get it back in and you WONT be getting it back in from the TOP!
