Thanks All! What an easy fix. One side (passenger) was clear and I thought I was in trouble. Then I checked the drivers side and the hose was clogged with debris. A lot of debris. Cleaned it out with some help from a small screwdriver and now no more rain inside. Hooray! The toughest part of this job was finding a new sheet metal screw to replace the one that ended up in the grass :-). Is there any reason that nipple/valve is there? The clean side one was in pretty tough shape, torn somewhat down one side. In retrospect, maybe that's why it was the clean one. Dave B.
