Water in the sills? Cabriolet

[DazzyA]

After clearing the drain holes in the roof compartment the water seems to be draining into the sills but not draining from them, i pressume i also have a blockage in them but cannot find a likely place, where should i be looking?

mine usually blocks up at the middle of the sill just run your hand over the back of the sill you normally dislodge the blockage then just prod with a thin screwdiver and it will run out and clean your hole.I recomend cleaning the hole every couple of months

thanks for that, had a quick feel, but will have proper look at weekend, sounds like theres about 10 gallons in there, very strange feeling.
cheers

YEP it s a bugger when that happens.sort it sooner rather than later as it kills the wires for the central locking relay,had to rewire mine as the wire corroded took forever to get right again

mines just started playing up!! I had the locks out and all sorts over the weekend DOH!

how does the water get into the sills? from the sunroof?

[jpboost]

There is a drain in each corner of the sunroof.

these sunroof drains run down and vent out though holes in the sills. When the holes get blocked the sill fills up...

the water draining from my roof compartment comes out about 1/2 way along the sill.... a few inches under the car from the side

Had a good feel about today seems that someone may have done a Rolf Harris underneath with a barrel of tar or something. I will get her in the air over the weekend and have a proper look, thanks for the direction oneblueleg.
baggede30, this is on a convertible mate.

Good old fashioned pipe cleaners work wonders clearing the holes. Good luck draining her out!
