That Reminds me. When I lived in Fort Lauderdale, I had an elderly neighbour who was complaining that she would get water inside her car every time it rained and the windshield would fog up. I checked the drain holes in the cowl and they were completely clogged. I cleaned them out and she was very happy afterwards. Also, here in Arizona we have a problem with drain holes clogging up with dirt because of the lack of rain. This is a very bad problem with sun roof drains here.
