Where Does The Hole Go?

Recommended Posts

trogboy

There is a drain hole on the top of the sill behind the rear quarter panel - does it feed into the sill below the rear quarter? If you're not sure which one I mean it is just below the rear seatbelt winder mechanisms. Logic would say that it is supposed to take condensation that forms in the inside of the panel.

 

The reason I ask is that I have just split the best part of half a pint of water into it but it hasn't come out of the drain hole in the bottom of the sill. I can't feed a piece of wire between the two holes even though they are only about 4" apart.

 

Can someone please tell me that I haven't just drained water into an otherwise sealed section of the chassis?

:lol:

 

If you look under the car next to the fuel tank there is a little rubber bung, try poking that.

I am very familiar with that bung as I have to poke it/take it out every time it rains as my sill on the passenger side fills up.

 

That is where I was expecting the water to appear from but none was forthcoming.

Try parking the car so it drains that way? I'm sure they join up. :)

I tried to thread a long cable tie through and then a bit of wire but I couldn't even get close.

 

Even with my finger deep inside the bottom drain hole I couldn't feel the wire moving about (this is starting to sound very wrong :) )

 

I was parked up with the backend facing down hill in the first place!

 

I might go a try a couple of pints of water! It's got to start coming out of somewhere.
