The ones on the Zed I mean, not the house.
Followed the very helpful posts found on here and all went quite smoothly, apart from getting the wiper arms off to do the “elephant nose” drains. I don’t think the front drains have ever been done on my car and those wiper arms put up quite a fight, even with a puller on the drivers side arm and 2 trim pry bars on the passenger side arm.
I found quite a pile of damp vegetation in the front blocking the drains although the drain tubes themselves weren’t too bad - all cleaned out and a few pints of water poured through to test.
I replaced the seal under the scuttle panel as mine was hanging off, put all back together and hopefully good for a few years now.
