Roof drains Xantia S2 ?

Post by HDI »

My Xantia has been parked over the weekend and we had some very heavy rain.
This morning as I reversed out of the drive water leaked quite heavily from around the nearside sunvisor hinge near the rear view mirror.
Thats the first time that has ever happened.
I'm presuming that the roof drains are blocked so could anyone let me know where they are please ?
Now using '00 Xantia LX HDI, pov spec :(

I believe they run down to the rear wheelarches via your "C" pillars.

And front ones down the A pillers. They exis under the wing mudshields and the outlets can get blocked with rubbish trapped between the wing and musdhield, especially leaves that work downward from the scuttle sump drains.

Pull the mudshields back, pour a jug of water coloured green* with food dye and observe the drains working as they should.

* Or whatever colour takes your fancy. I use coloured water to clearly differientate test water from other water.
