A-Pillar Drain


Harps

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Had the A-Pillar off my aerotop at the weekend and it looks like the drain that runs the length of it is blocked somewhere below where it joins the dash. Does anyone know where they lead to so I can find the blockage? I'm guessing its around the arches somewhere?

Yes down to the rear of the arches.

 

Try blowing down the hose, Or a piece of electrical cabling, 1.5mm mains stuff with the sheath removed (so it's just bare wire) is usually stiff enough to poke down it to clear.

 

Make sure the drain at the top (when you remove the roof) is also clear, as if that's blocked it will hold water in the pipe as there's no air vent (like when you hold coke in a straw with your tongue)

Awesome, thanks very much! It did leak down the A-Pillar last time it was out in the rain (about 6 years ago!). I assumed it was the seals going, but this could be much better news after getting a quote for new seals from Mr T.
