These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How on earth am I supposed to clean these things? I blow out the rears by disconnecting the hoses, but the fronts? Edit: Apparently it is behind the front wheel liner.

POST 2Original post

Some guys use fishing line , heavy stuff like 30 lb test . Stiff but flexible .

POST 3Original post

OP - Use a flat head to prop the wind screen flap up and bicycle cable or trimmer line. After, check the front floor wall connection behind carpet and behind where the emer brake pedal is. The drain tube transitions thru firewall there and if it’s loose or off, you’ll get serious wet carpet syndrome.

i can put 10 feet of cable through. Still doesn't drain.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 20189217

I recall the connection being just below dash level, directly up behind the pedal where I could barely reach. When you put the line through does it fish all the way to that origami looking rubber plug in upper wheel well?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For future generations, it is above and behind the relay panel...zip tie for insurance. But it was unplugged. Now fixed.

POST 10Original post

For what its worth, the Bentley manual says to blow compressed air backwards through the drain, towards the roof, WITH THE ROOF CLOSED. Then open the roof and vacuum out any debris.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I feel like Bentley heard that from someone, somewhere, and then just put it in the manual without actually trying it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
