Water Drainage System Check and Water Leak Corrections
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
One drain hose is attached at each corner of the roof panel. The 2 front drain hoses are routed down the windshield pillars and into the cowl sides exiting at the rocker panel drain holes. The 2 rear drain hoses are routed down the rear pillars, along the inside rear quarter panel and through the rear of the vehicle.
- Pour water into the drain trough and inspect the front and rear of the vehicle to make sure the water drains from the rocker panels and rear quarter panels.
- If the water flow is restricted, remove any material in the drain hose system. Test by pouring water slowly into the system.
