Sloshy Doors
Washed the blazer this weekend, went to shut the door after wiping down the interior and it sounded like surf's up. Just a little reminder you all to make sure your door drains are clear and draining like mine now are.

I moved from dry Alberta to the coast of British Columbia last year. I parked my truck for a few days where it rained non stop. When I went to get in there must have been 4 inches of water in the doors! I poked around with a piece of wire to unplug the drains, and the water poured out of the drains. One of these days I'll have to pull the door panels to see what's in there, probably rust....

Also check your front fender and cowl drains. Also a good idea to shove a garden hose up into the fenders front and rear in a few spots to wash it out.

Time to replace window squeegy?I always do the rinse-out.It`s good to hose up and around between the bed panels.Don`t forget the rocker drains and cab supports.

Good things to remember to keep those drains open! I will share a quick tip to remember. Speaking from experience (yes I am a bonehead @ times) DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT use the wire hook on the top of your drop light to poke in the hole to drain the water ZAP Lit me up a good.
