in my s4na the drain holes in my hatch are cloged/ not draining so my question is how do i unplug them?? i try using a pipe cleaner didnt work. i also tried to do a direct show with the garden hose. any suggestions?

 

135 PSI of compressed air. It is very important to have a friensd lay on his back and watch to make sure it's really unclogged when you give it that blast of air.

 

if you have to blow the tube clear from the bottom, put some towels down in the cargo area, and have some windex and paper towels ready to go










trust me on this

 

1/4 cup of baking soda
1/4 cup of plain table salt
1/4 cup of plain white vinegar.

mix the salt and baking soda. Pour down into the drain..doesn't have to all go down at once.. add the vinegar. Let work for a few minutes, I let it sit for ten...

Get some hot water from the tap and then slowly pour it down to clear the excess. Unlike a coat hanger or high pressure air, this will not risk damaging the somewhat brittle drainage hoses whatsoever. And not that it matters, but it also disinfects....

hmmm thanks guys

 

A thick bass string also can be an efficient declogger.

 

it really depends on what the clog is
if its just dirt and small debris then the liquid cleaner and and different types of line will work
I have gotten some small acorns wedged down there in the past and the only way it was going to come out was to be blown back, that is a very messy procedure however so I'd try the other suggestions first

 

OR - you could take the line out of the car and clean it

 

I'm not sure I could get it out without breaking it

also unmentioned is the shop vac option as well

 

Well - I don't think these lines would be impossible to replace with non dealer pieces. 5 minutes in a harware store and you should find replacements. Some interior peice I'd be leary about breaking....... but not these llines
