I understand this image shows the exits from the drain. Where do the connecting tubes drain out through in the vehicle on to the pavement ? Thanks so much !

Thanks. I quizzed the parts guy at the Ford dealer, he said that the drains end in a space that is between sheet metal and cannot be accessed. recommended that I either blow them out with air (but be careful not to burst the tube) or, re-plumb the drain with my own tubing. I cannot understand why this should happen. The drains seem much smaller than they need to be, almost like they are designed to clog . . . more dealer $$$. Enjoy your day.
