Had a wuick search but couldn't find anything...
Was wondering where the roof drain plugs are located?
Also Is it worth cleaning them out now and again?
Thanks

You need to search again :) loads of info here .....

I had the same query, chuck some water over the closed hood, if it drains out both sides in front of both wheels then all okay, otherwise........ :o
 
As above good how to's on here.
Can be done with wheel on but my preferred method is jack up car remove wheel, remove small cover plate at bottom of wheel arch, pull out bung and insert your prodder to clear the drain.

It's definatly worth doing :thumbsup:
 
I clean it with compressed air on the drain hole, preferably when the car/holes are dry
 
Been under the car tonight looking for the drain plugs,
I've taken out the arch lining and plastics underneath but can't find the plug.
Found a few large bolts but nothing like the drain plug :/.
I've also looked through the threads but still not sure.
 
Look harder! No need to remove the arch liners etc, There's an opening underneath both sills just in front of the rear wheels that's big enough to get your hand in & remove the drain bungs-I know it's possible cost I've done it :thumbsup:
 
As described above it can be found with your hand feeling around. It will be the only plug/bolt that is squashable - needs a fair pull to get it off. For info though I found the problem to be at the top end not down by the plug.
 
When you find the rubber plugs, get a good hold of it and remove with what it's attached to, don't just remove the bung, it'll be a pain to refit if you do.
