[s-cars] Any secrets to uncloging drains?

[Wayne Dohnal]

The drain under the blower motor is pretty tough to get to, but since I've 
done it I assume you can, too.  What I (mis)use is a flexible grabber tool. 
It's about 18 inches long, looks like a small sewer snake for most of its 
length, has a push button on the top and some retractable grabber claws on 
the bottom.  I somehow get it worked into the drain hole from the top 
passenger side of the car, then give the vent boot a good reaming out by 
pulling it back and forth.  As an alternative it's hard but not impossible 
to find the drain from the bottom.  If there's a slow drip coming out that 
would help a lot.
