California Roof Drainage

[screamin]

Does anyone have experience with cleaning the drainage system? And possibly pictures?

I believe you remove the head-liner and there are 4 black rubber tubes coming from each corner. Those are what can get clogged. I haven't done it myself but when I parted my last ti it was like that.

Do you know for sure that they are clogged? But like stated pull the headliner, shove a capped 1/2'' pipe cleaner down the tubes.

I don't know for sure but last time I drove it in the rain the insulation under the dash was all wet. I don't know what else it could be

It can be lots of things really. My Cali roof has a crack in an area that is a pain to get to and when it rains it leaks. But my drainage holes are fine. There is a service manual for the top some where on this board.

If it is under your dash, I would look at your air vents or at the water drainage vents on the seem of the hood and the windshield. They vent down the middle of the fire wall.

I checked all the drain holes. The front two were slightly plugged under the car but it didn't take much to clear them. After that, they all worked great.

I'll check the windshield and the seal around it - it's definetly not the original.
