Doh!!!

Had a bit of time yesterday so thought I would do the roof drain ( notice I said drain....)

Well took the offside wheel off and got a nice stiff bit of wire up there and whoosh about a gallon of water came flooding out!
Excellent job says I, but seeing as the car is on a bit of a slope I'll pour water in from the other side and flush it through
Well about 5 pints later nothings coming out so check my You tube page I was using and in the last bit he mentions in his Tennesee drawl the drain plug on the other side!!!

Aghhhhh, well off with the wheel and drain cover prod, prod, wobble wobble nothing

Tried for an hour and can't clear it, so now I'm driving around with what sounds like the contents of Lake Victoria sloshing around behind the missus seat....

Any other pointers chaps...

That rubber drain extension can be pulled off for better access.

Plus you can use a Wet and Dry Vacuum to suck it out.
I removed the drain plug. It is actually in 2 pieces.
Then I attached the base of the plug into the vacuum pipe and secured it with duct tape.
Pushed the plug back home and fired up the vac !
Whoosh !
Done!!

A little time for peace of mind.

Hi
Try typing in Trumpet Brush on Ebay, and choose one of those gismos to clean out the drain tubes.

Good Luck

You've just cost me £2:99
Even though my roof motor has been moved to the boot they still need cleaning out.

Have you tried pushing the wire in from the top?

It's actually quite soothing if you time your braking right it sounds like waves crashing on the shore...
