Wow, I can't imagine why Ford wasn't dragged over the coals for that screw up. I have seen MANY rotted out Focus rocker panels in parking lots, and now I know why.
When I cleaned out the blockages on the 03, dust came out of the drains! I suppose that is better than water.... I wonder if I should try to hose them out before I take it to be sprayed.
Anyway, the 2010 went in and got sprayed today. It got an excellent treatment because I asked to talk with the guy who was going to do the application. I think it must be rare that anyone asks to see him, because he really enjoyed the discussion, and then he spent over an hour doing the application.
I'll have to clear the drains on the 05 over the weekend and take it back to be touched up.
