What is your question?
The drain hose goes down from the ceiling down the right side of the windshield through the dash and ends in a little 90 degree plastic knuckle that goes through the wheel well...THAT little 90 degree angle is plugged and causes the right side interior to FLOOD when it rains or when going through a car wash! Which is how I found out it was plugged up! Fun..Fun..!. HOW can I unplug it?! I have the hose pulled off (and don't know HOW I'll ever get it put back On to that 90 degree angle knuckle...I'd have to have an arm like ET...) and I put it out the passenger window so it drains out that way when it rains. BUT HOW do I fix the stupid thing!?? LarryA

I usually use compressed air to unplug these drain hoses, that way I don't have to remove anything. I do the same with plugged up wiper nozzles. Use the compressed air that you use to fill up your tires, that is strong enough to do the job.
Hey that's real fine what you use...but it says NOTHING to the problem I posted man...Nothing. I don't really CARE what you do frankly....I have a problem...I posted the problem with hopes of some one helping WITH that problem...Obviously I have it all taken apart and need the help I Asked for. The hose is pulled OFF the drain knuckle I can't Reach it because it is WAY back in up under the dash/glove compartment and don't Know How to get to it....Can you help with that...It doesn't HELP to tell me "What you usually do" to unplug it when it's all intact. I'll remember that for future reference...but as for Now I have a problem to fix.....
Larry, We are all here dedicated to attempting to help people like yourself with their car problems. Please refrain from directing your frustration at those of us who are trying to help. No one online here is going to be able to tell you exactly what to do to reattach the hose. There is no shop manual procedure - certainly you have not been following any specific procedure in your attempts to resolve your concern. There is not even a shop manual diagram for the hose and "drain knuckle" you are speaking of, so those of us at our computers cannot point out a specific procedure that will help you. We have all been at a point where things have gone too far and we need help. Your best move is to consult someone local to you who is a qualified technician with mechanical experience who can help you navigate the repairs on your vehicle. If help is what you are seeking, this is what you need to do. Best of luck.
