Roof drains

Both drains are clear as you can see water streaming out the bottom of the car

Is it normal that the passenger side seems to empty all the way along the sil? Drivers side one a nice stream straight down to the floor passenger side it’s dripping out all along. The drain isn’t blocked as the flow is great just comes out everywhere

I think Ive seen threads on here where it can sometimes travel along the sill cover

Its worth popping the sill covers off to clean and see if any major issues underneath-
If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

I think the bungs are off anyway.

Any how to’s on. Removing the covers?

Did also think on that My drive slopes so the car is sloping down and towards the front drivers side so it might just be catching

Jack the corner up, wheel off and within the wheel arch there is a plastic flap with two or three screws. Takes a minute or two. Guess I have photos somewhere…
