Jacked up the car and used a long pin with some paper and surfex hd and cleaned the cowl drains.

Then i flushed it from above with boiling water before i used some swissvax pneu and made the drains more smooth so dirt dont stick as easy (hopefully).

I discovered that one of the metal clips holding the drains against the chassie had come loos and was clogging the one drain. Any tips on how to attach it again?


Will be checking these drains more regulary (sunroof and AC to).
How did you get at them from under the car, when I had a look I couldn't see anything for engine and gearbox.

As to the metal clip I have no idea how your going to get to that to put it back in.

Do you have any photos of your drain points?
