drain hose
clearing the line alone wont solve the problem just mask it. if it clogged before it will clog again. you need the filter and the under cowl guard. just putting a filter in it just means your filter will back up without the guard.
also all your doing is pushing the crap back into the system by using compressed air or a coat hanger.
If you insist on doing something that suzuki will cover on your own then the best way... On the carpet under the blower is a small plastic nut, remove that and remove the passenger kick panel. Then remove the small plastic cover on the far forward of the passenger side center console (pull from the front, its one clip and then a slide at the back). Then pull your carpet back. theres a foam pad under there so fold the carpet after that foam so you dont break it. You can remove the whole drain plug this way and actually push the crap out of the car.
also dont let this go for to long because eventually it will back up enough to no only plug the drain but up into the control box. this causes alot of water into the blower and soaks the foam around the blower and loosens the glue.
sorry if that was long just wanted to be clear on how to fix this.
