Where is my water drain?
The service booklet says "Clean Water Drain". WIS has some pictures, but I can't figure out exactly where I should be looking. Does anyone have a photo of the water drain in a 2017 GLS with enough context that I could find the darn thing? What is the "cover" I need to remove? Is that the flat plastic piece between the false firewall and the channel in the cowl where the wipers are? I started to remove it, but nothing underneath looked familiar.
TIA

Sunroof (moonroof, not panorama) drain: forward corners of sunroof channel. Open roof stand on front seats through open roof and locate two small drain holes in corners of roof surround cavity. Pour water into these holes and confirm it drains out behind the front tires. Panorama roof likely similar.

The top of your hood has gills, cosmetic vents. The left/driver's side gill has a drain under it when you open the hood. That is what I am talking about.
