I have a brag. Neighbor bought a used Mountaineer that they have had several different varieties of in years past. Apparently they are fond of them. Anyway, neighbor and son were in the process of switching tires from old to new because the old vehicles tires were much better. Neighbor states that new(er) vehicle has less miles and is in better condition and they will probably sell the old. Oh yeah, and the new one doesn't have a sunroof. He says "the old one leaked all the time." Without even batting an eye I ask him if he has cleaned out the drain lines. He looks at me and says "There's drain lines?"
Here's the best part. So I run inside and do a quick search and sure enough, apparently the drain lines become disconnected all the time, especially the front passenger. I head back out and ask him where it's leaking from and he says front passenger. I tell him that is exactly what I found online and it shouldn't take him long to lower the headliner a bit and reconnect them. He says "You know, I've been to the dealer at least 3 times and a couple other shops and this whole time my neighbor knew more than they do."
