I'm guessing that if you have a sun roof the "drain" tubes will be blocked, as I am sure that's what I've read elsewhere on the forum.
And the passenger foot well does indeed get very wet - had the problem on my old 405 - when the sunroof seal went!

Now the question to the being, where are the damn things and how does one unblock them.

Today, after driving 500 miles in the last 4 days on holiday, with about 2 miles to home (having driven rain like I have never seen before - it was BAD) I turned right and my good lady got water from the passenger sunshade/vanity mirror thing all over her - I guess I have a blockage somewhere.

I'd like to get it fixed sooner rather than later as I have no desire for an angry Gf. You know how it is :cheesy:

Well it seems viewtopic.php?t=2853 is how one unblocks the drain hoses or seals the ariel!

WOuld some kind soul tell me know to remove the light cluster in the roof - don't want to damage it!

On my D8 you just squeeze the two sides of the cover together slightly ( the sides facing the front and rear of the vehicle ) and it pops off as its only held in on tabs. Then you can get to all the Torx screws. 8)

from inspecting the widscreen it appears that the
leak maybe from the seal on the passenger side
as it doesn't look fitted correctly.
