Thank you and a question

Post by gtv »

Just come back after a 1500 trip, now the car has been standing for a couple of hours and I have noticed that on the drivers side there are two puddles one under the sill near the front wheel and another just before the rear wheel. I searched on the forum and found a couple of posts about the sill drain holes, checked and they are blocked. Now the questions, the car is parked on a slight (and I mean slight) hill nose up, when I tried to unblock the rear I got lots of brown rust "dirt" but not a lot of water just a slow rate of drips, I did the front and got a stream straight away with not rust at all, does anybody have any ideals how I can clean the rear hole out?
Also the sill seal is spilt at the drivers door and the door seal is missing a strip halfway down the pillar. Am I right is thinking this will be the cause?
And last of all anybody got the part numbers and cost of these two seal so I can get a replacement tomorrow. PS its a d8 estate if thats any help.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I just used a No.1 screwdriver :? Split seal is the likely cause, especially if there's clips missing (i.e. holes leading straight into your sill-mounted aquarium).

Umm, part numbers, umm...

Dammit, I'll have to log into Windows for the password :frown:
