I understand this image shows the exits from the drain. Where do the connecting tubes drain out through in the vehicle on to the pavement? Thanks so much !

The onle may drain to under front of windshield or out to between fender and body the other will drain probably down c pillar or someplace like that maybe the b pillar. Try blowing air through them to clean them out

Thanks. I quizzed the parts guy at the Ford dealer, he said that the drains end in a space that is between sheet metal and cannot be accessed. Recommended that I either blow them out with air (but be careful not to burst the tube) or, re-plumb the drain with my own tubing. I cannot understand why this should happen. The drains seem much smaller than they need to be, almost like they are designed to clog... More dealer $$$. Enjoy your day.
