The passenger side was clear thankfully, but i lubricated the flap after cleaning.

And of course will need a good test drive after putting back together!!!
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After my wet carpet incident a few weeks back, i had the day off today to sort these drain holes out. The car has been sat in the garage drying witha dehumidifier on it !!
Wel, just to say to those Cabrio owners, if you've not checked the drain holes in the rear arches - do so now !!
It was an easy job, took about 15 mins per side. Drivers (the one with the problem ) was blocked with gunk, and the rubber flap 70% stuck to the housing thus preventing water escaping properly.
The passenger side was clear thankfully, but i lubricated the flap after cleaning.
So, this will be something i do every 6 months or so i think to save a lot of hassle.
Thanks for the advice , excuse my ignorance but where are the drain holes ? , with all this rain at present may be prudent to check mine . She lives outside in anticipation of a sunny day!!!
Remove the rear wheel. Inside the arch, there is a plastic panel held on by 3 plastic nuts. Remove these, and the panel and you'll see the drain hole.
HTH

Looks like another reason to get my hands dirty and do a bit more cleaning and general messing about. And of course will need a good test drive after putting back together!!!
Thanks Again
:thumb:
Good luck - not that you need it !!
Took mine out today for first time since i discovered the swimming pool, and after heavy rain - dry as a chip
So, pleased it's now all working as Porsche planned
having a C2 Cab i read this post with interest and being (un)lucky enough to be a Gas Turbine engineer i have access to some good toys, the best one is a borescope (like an endoscope down the stomach) so i have borescoped the drain tube from the inside of the car (from the drain hopper behind the speaker) and down to the drain hole - hopefully i have attached the picture of behind the drain flap (a view which not many people see!)
just a point of interest is that with the hard top fitted this drain hole is not used and water drains out of the floor area, just forward of the rear wheel. (this was found out the hard way, of a lot of water all over the floor and a lot of head scratching as to why the water was not comming out of the drain hole!)
the other picture (which looks like a snail) is up one of the drain conduit pipes which terminates at the drain hopper.
No, its just sad! :nooo:
Although i do scope inside of my MG's sills to look for an even coating of waxoil (or perhaps, more correctly, an even coating of rust)
