What are those plastic bag things that are stuffed in the wings behind the headlights?

I have noticed this when washing or even just rinsing bird crap off the car, seems there is a drain point in there....

It could also be water evaporation off the aircon condenser! which is normal, it tells you in the owners manual :wink:

I think that you meant to say the aircon evaporator - but that will be in towards the centre of the car (condensor dumps heat so it gets hot, evaporator chills so gets wet).

That doesn't make sense, surely the condenser gets wet as it condenses :? No?
