On the a pillar inbetween the door hinges. Oval black things. If you pull them out make sure you connect the pipe back onto them.

It does have a small hole in the end believe it or not. You have to milk it...Like a cat  :lipsrsealed:

Snip the ends off so water runs more freely. :wink:

open up your front door, look to the hinge, there should be the black rubber ribbed wire protection thingy, about 3inches in length connecting your cars electrics to your door electrics, above that should be an oval grommet with a inch long nipple thats been crimped, then just read what i wrote  :wink:

It's worth snipping them to make the nipple holes bigger, for easier drainage!

Then it's more like milking a horse! :whistle:

shouldnt have to take out the drain but if your cut the crimp off and find your sunroof draines, pour some what down and if they flow out then bonus if they dont then follow what i wrote in that maintenance section

and i've had to milk a horse before...it wasnt pleseant  :cry:
