Roof drain hole just a quick question
- Thread starter Tomsdad
- Start date
The rain runs off the roof and into the drainage channels behind each door
If the drain plugs are clear of debris, (or the rubber plugs haven't sealed themselves up) then out onto the floor
You can check if they are clear by carefully pouring water down the gap between the body work and roof

Removed mine altogether when Durham Dave relocated my roof motor shortly after I bought the zed.
Thought it was a good preventive maintenance measure as well as ascertaining the current condition of the motor after reading horror stories on here.
Fortunately, it was as dry as a bone and the cleanest example Dave had ever seen!
I'd highly recommend removing the drain plugs as well as relocating the motor.

If no water has got in to your motor, how on earth did that apple core get in?Chris_D said:

Always smile when people talk about increased road noise in a roady 
My drains have been overflowing the last couple of days with the rain we've been having. Should probably give them a clear out!

SOS :sos: - are there any kindly Zed owners around the North London area who can help me locate and remove these plugs? :? I have cleared the drain holes from above but no water comes out, and it is definitely full of water!! 
Desperate to clear it before i put his winter top on. I am happy to drive distance

Alternatively you can 'feel' for the rubber grommet on the RHS from the top (it may be blocked with debris) with a garden support stick (green things), old whippy aerial etc, etc

Excellent description thank you - going to give this another go at the weekend!

Removing these plugs us literally a 2 min job provided you don't have massive hands. There was a good picture outlining exactly where they are on. I'll see if I can find it

Bloody photobucket, it's gone.
Just stick your hand under the sill at the rear wheel and you'll feel a triangular opening. Inside there you'll feel the rubber bung. Pull it out and bin it!
