The area around the wipers on my car was holding water and the drain hole near the passenger side door on the wiper panel was well blocked.
I used a wire coathanger and bent the end over after straitening it out so there was no sharp edges.
a few gentle pushes saw a gush of water come our on the ground which contained lots of dead leaves and muck.
When clearing with coathanger I bent it slightly at the end and waggled it from near the centre of the car to direct it into the drain hole.
I have seen posts of people stripping out trim and god knows what so was pleased to do this. I then used my hand held steamer sprayer which has a flexible extention on it and blasted it a few times. The steam came straight out and it could be seen exiting with no problem behind the n/s wheel arch.
I then straightened the end of the coathanger and used it on the drain channels on on the front side windows attached to the A pillars to ensure they were clear as well.
A job well done and not the task that I thought it may be .
