My suggestion is to tape some weather stripping under the edge of the hood (passenger side) so that, that area (entire edge) would not have any small gaps when you close the hood.

You just have to try different ways until it works. Not sure what drain you are talking about. I will check mine tonight. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

I guess putting it in the passenger-side kick panel like they do for all their other cars was too proven, and made too much sense. '99 Contour Sport V6 MTX

Unfortunately, that might also be a problem. Some of us have experienced water coming into that area too. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

Might be good to pour some water in the drain to see if it will really drain. Drilling a bigger hole won't help if the drain is clogged.
