I was cleaning the left front drain. When I put my finger straight down and it seemed clogged still. I didn't realize the water went down and was diverted toward the front. I thought the grommet was like a cap. I pulled it off and it was actually part of the hose. The hose has now broken off and has fallen away from the hole. I am assuming I need it replace the hose. Anybody ever done this? How should I go about this?

Sometime I can't stand myself.

I bought the drain hole screens from Suncoast sometime ago. Clean holes and apply the screens. Will work great if the car stays outside.

My car is now stored outside. It is regularly covered in pollen and leaves. Are there areas I should routinely check to prevent future issues with convertable top drainage or other problems?

I know the boxster has drainage plugs. Are these easy to access and clean? My local dealer mentioned a service they provide to prevent problems, but if possible I'd prefer to handle myself.

Also, has anyone else paid a dealer for this type service?

Nikki,
I had this done at the dealer. They charge me $100. At that time I never heard about this until the dealer did the work and charged me without notifying me first. They said some porsche owners had flooded their cars so I paid them and then did research myself afterwards.
