        It's a very flat looking, short rubber hose right against the firewall.

            well yours is dry rotted and cracked! mine was a bit dry at the end and cracked a bit too, but not that bad! but it was probably as packed as yours too, had to use a flathead to break it up. i think if you leave it out the water will get onto engine components more, cause the trunk directs it downwards.

            To anyone who still cant find this thing, its like 6 inches or so down from around where the firewall battery connector thing is

                    Try to find any type of rubber hose that might fit over both ends and use that.
                    Guess im lucky with a vert and dont have any of those drain issue since i have no real roof. Now yes no back window , ftl
