Scuttle Panel
Hi everyone, I have carpets that are wet which i have traced back to the drains underneath the scuttle panel being blocked. Rather than remove the scuttle panel the two drain holes could they be enlarged to take a wire coat hanger to free off debris blocking the drain, or otherwise from underneath if you can access them.?
Re: Scuttle Panel
If they are anything like the other drains on the car, then they are soft flexible tubes and a coat hanger would destroy them. I would try some insulated electrical wire if you have some.
Also, you are sure that it is rainwater and not coolant, as the heater matrix can leak there.
Cheers R.
