´36 5 w
Hi Ford barners.
I am working on a ´36 5W coupe. In each end of the windshield opening there are two small holes.On inside there are two pipes where the holes are.On one of the pipes there are remaines of a rubber hose.Is this a drain hose?Wher does it drain?Can´t find any holes on the body. Thanks. Rolf in Sweden. |

Should be two holes somewhere in the bottom of the A piller below the lower door hinge ,not sure how it works because it would vent out onto the top of the fender,

Re: ´36 5 w
These are drain ports for the windshield opening. Not sure where they drained originally but I ran a hose down inside the kickpanel area, drilled a hole in the bottom of the cowl and the hose sticks down below/under the running board. In theory, there should be a little bit of venturi effect helping to "suck" the water down the tube when driving. If the tube gets plugged, it's easy to push a wire up or down to clear it out.

In the chassis there's a hole about 8" from the running board in the top this would be about 2-1/2 io 3' from the hinge pillar and be directly below the rubber pipe nipple .it looks like a Factory hole for this purpose ,if you drill like Swedish steel suggests this could line up with this hole ,
