Mat, in my post about having a sill full of water you mentioed that there were drainage holes. Had a look and I can see 2 things that look the same. I tried to clear it with a metal skewer about 3mm in diameter but no luck even getting them in there. Is the following pic correctly showing the drainiage holes?

Took ages to get that. Bloody light was killing the photo! What's the best way to unblock them then? I was scraping quite hard with the metal skewer but it didn't seems to be budging at all.

I normally just blast some air in there with the blower.

They'd been filled with something. :roll:

The ones in the middle are weird. Couldn't get the skewer through completely on either side, but the ones at the front went through eventually.

Turned the car around as it was parked facing uphill, and when parked facing downhill the water gushed forth. 8)

I had the same problem with my RT,

Yes thats a drain hole on your pic matey,

I got a flat head screw driver... Prized the Hole open MORE and then shuved a DART into it, BULLS EYE, came GUSHING out,

Clear them both up the best you can, but try and get the water near the front drain hole as i found that the easy one to work with... :D
