Did you know that wire is a good tool for your car? How so? To tie what? Not to tie anything down. It is to unclog the clogged drains at the bottom of the doors or trunk lid, in the case of the hatchback, station wagon or SUV.

SEE ALSO:

The water enters either during the rain or in a car wash and it accumulates at the bottom when the drains are clogged because dirt, sand and other dirt ends up there. And the result is that this water ends up rusting the plate.

And that’s where our super tool comes into play, our glorious piece of wire capable of unclogging the drains of doors, lids and trunk bottoms.
