Re: [T3] Drains by by the windshield question.

To clear out the grille fwd of the windscreen you have to remove the plenum
chamber (fan housing). This can be a PITA as you have to strip virtually
everything out of the dash first before you can drop it out (4 nuts at top
mating face). Don't try it with a hangover; all the standing on your head is
very unpleasant......

Once you've got the airbox out, you have some access to the area below the
grille.

Of course, the lazy git's way of clearing the leaves etc. out is with a
pressure washer, but this may show up leaks you didn't know you had!

The airbox removal idea is for late ('70-on) models. I can't remember what
the early one was like.

The drain tube has a 90 degree bend in it after the bulkhead. that's why you
can't poke wire far down it. Try compressed air or poking from the other
end.....
