Re: [DML] Windshield/vent water drain

I have also experienced the passenger footwell
swimming pool. In both cases, the drain directly
below the "windshield grill" was plugged. Once it was
from leaves and once from a large bolt that had
somehow gotten in there and acted as a collector for
grass, leaves, etc.

If anyone drives their car much, as I do, and if it
often sits outside, uncovered, this is a item of
periodic maintenance. Once the drain is plugged, the
water comes over the protective baffle and into
passenger comparment.
