Question about antenna drain
I have had my '94 since '97 and have gotten very good at fixing the stupid electric antenna. Last week pulled it out again and found it was damaged beyond repair. I got a new replacement and everything works fine.
While replacing it this time I noticed that the antenna drain tube connects to this black hose that runs over the right, rear wheel (inside the body). The antenna tube connects this "Y" with one end connected to the black hose and the other end goes up about 3 unches and then is just open. Given the long run of the black hose and the fact it goes "up" above the bottom of the antenna, I'm wondering where the water goes.
It must go out the open end of the hose that goes 3" up and just drain into the right, rear inside fender. Is that right?

there are a couple hoses (not sure what color) that meet in the rear quarter close to the taillight, but near the boytom of the right side of the trunk. i believe there is a brass(?) piece that mates the drains into one. this piece should have a single outward hose that leads to the drain hole in the bottom of the trunk.

Thanks. I just figured it out. The black hose that comes from the front is actually the drain from the sun roof. The antenna drain tube and the sun roof drain tube connect into a Y connector with that metal (not brass since mine rusted out) that fits into a rubber sealed hole in the back, bottom right to drain outside.
My Y connector rusted out completely, so both tubes were draining inside the right, back body panel.
