Can someone post a detailed pic of the hood hinge drain?

Just cleaned out my hood hinge pockets and have been using a piece of wire to try to find the drain to clear it. For the life of me I can't find it. Found a pic in the archives but it wasn't very detailed. Need to know exactly where the drain is. Thanks,JEFF

Feel up underneath the front fender, above the tire. You'l feel a round thing hanging down, thats where the drain water comes out. When you find that you'll be home free

The drain tubes are rather large, you shouldn't have problems pushing any crap in them out the bottom.
