Hello,

  Could someone tell me whereabouts this drain line exits the firewall? I
can't seem to locate it. Also, does the water collect in the AC/heating
duct work?

Thanks,

  Totally unrelated, during a rare sunbreak this weekend I tried a product
called "Clay Magic" paint cleaner, amazing stuff! It really seems to clean
the paint well prior to waxing - no scrathes or swirls to speak of ( I have
a black GT). Much much easier to use than Zymol HD cleanse. I dont work for
them blah blah.
