Rain udders
Have heard talk about draining the rain udders under the hood. We’re are they and how do you drain them if needed. Thanks

I removed all of mine, no worries, not saying anyone should, I'm sure I will get bashed here as some will say it was engineered that way for a reason, my reason for deleting them is the water can just drain through the big holes onto the ground, some will say the passenger side one will ruin the totally waterproof computer....

I’ve read — and tend to believe — the udders are somewhat intended to direct water flow, but more useful in keeping rodents out.

Seems to me if we trim the lips off the output side of the udders any debris that goes in will come out the other side. Isn't that a good idea?

Also make sure that the AC utter is free and clear also. It can lead to water in the right in side dash area at/over the fuse box as well.
