Nice! Are the ones in your hood compartment clear? They get blocked up pretty easily too...

where are these holes then?

sill drainage holes are about half way along, and an inch or so 'in' towards the centre of the vehicle

but the easiest way to find them is to pour water into the roof compartment; into the low-point at each corner where the hood frame is attached to the body

mind your feet

is it under the kit? also if its blocked is it just a matter of poking at it to unblock.

ah.... I have no 'kit', so I can't help you there

Poking would help, if the blockage was at that end, rather than the teensy hole at the top end in the hood compartment

Poke both ends - you know it makes sense
