I can't give a definitive answer on exactly how many drains there are (or additional leak points such as Botang's hole, boot grommets, rear light clusters etc.) but I can say that they never, ever go away.

Whatever you do something, somehow will find a way to block the drain and cause problems, so be prepared to regularly clear them.

I'll stick what little I know on my next post for others to then copy/edit to accumulate a single list in one post.

For the record I have no issues with sunroof drains or Botang's hole. But I never ever open my sunroof......
