Had a customer come in with his Very Clean low mileage Shelby the other day. We have all heard about the Windshield Cowl Drains getting clogged and wreaking havoc inside the passenger side of the car. This car was the opposite. Drivers side was severely clogged creating a Windshield Wiper Concern. The puddle of nasty water got so bad that it shorted out the Windshield Wiper Motor We all know Electric and Water don't mix, This is easily monitored. Unfortunately not everyone has a garage to park in. Simple to monitor. Can be expensive to fix once it is too late.

Remove Wiper Blades
Remove Windshield Cowls
Visually look down on both sides at the drains. Most people remove the rubber drain to enlarge the drain hole.
Put a new cabin Air Filter in while there

Think I saw this on fb in the last few days. I need to pull mine apart and clean. My trunk edges look nasty from stuff getting in there

Funny thing. I get to work this morning and check my appointments. Have an appointment for an 08 Mustang with a Water Leak on the Passenger Floor Board.
