Water in pass side after overnight rain ?

[jim_hoyland]

Update: Had the car on a lift today and blew compressed air up the drain tubes. Gees, what a bunch of junk, electrical tape, candy wrapper, two leaves, and misc debris.

It's supposed to rain Sat in So Cal, so I'll get to test it out

Be extra careful when using high pressure air to blow out the drain tubes. This tends to blow off the hose from the upper mounting point at times. If this happens all the water that would normally go down the drain will be in your interior.

Jim, Phil here from S.C. (think 914 site) - i had a Saab convertible that had the same thing happen and drains needed cleaning,but the main cause of the water in the car was from the top leaking. once i retreated it , even with a hard rain i did not have the water problem. -- your car is a '97 or '98, so could be a good idea to retreat the top with water proofer if you never have.

hope you stay dry!

The cloth on our tops is not waterproof, it just covers a second rubber layer.

3 drains in the front, 4 in the rear.
