Drain locations on 986

Now that Spring and rainshowers are on the way I wanted to know where the drain locations are on the Boxster. Seems a good time of year to clean them out, just need to know where they are!

Theres one on the left and right side... Right under the convertible top, beside the large main bracket that the convertible top pivots when opening and closing... You also might wanna unscrew your mud flaps infront of your rear tires, the drain im talking about leads into the flaps, so you might have leafs and other junk stuck in there.

Yeah your going to need an air compressor to blow any air out from that hole, the only thing you can do is remove any surface blockage.

You have mail and

4 drains

1 from the HVAC
1 from the gas filler tray

1 from the water tray
1 from the leakage channel

I think these last two are actually duplicated on both sides under the top cover.
