Clearing windshield drain spots

Hey Guys,

I tried to clear the two drain spots below the wipers. There is a huge curve it the plastic drain when it enters under the hood.

Someone recommended flexible wire which I think might do the trick. Please let me know if your aware of a better way to go about things.

Cheers,

-Rob

A piece of cable might work. It’s thin but somewhat flexible.

if you have an air compressor, you might also try this:


I removed the rubber tip from an air chuck and replaced it with a hose barb. It’s really handy for blowing air in hard to reach spots like the drain tubes.

I have also seen people and places use that green weed wacker wire...enough strength with enough flex...
