Bonnet/wiper drains - PugRory - 23-11-2015
Noticed my driver side foot well was damp the other day, did some research and it looks like the driver side drain under the bonnet is blocked with leaves and other rubbish!
Only issue is, the passenger side one is nice and clear and lovely to access, the driver side drain is not so accessible. There's a wiper motor in the way, and I really don't fancy taking it all apart just to clear some leaves (will do if I have to though) but any tips for clearing it?
Cheers

It's a one in 10 year job if you don't Park under trees, do it properly.
Failing that rod it out from the other side but it won't last.

It's a yearly occurrence if you do park under trees...poor design really. But the wiper motor only takes a few minutes to remove, it's not a hard job, you only need a 10mm and 13mm socket.

air line will clear most of the leaves and peat build up
if the hole gets blocked the wiper motor sits in a pond of water the water gets high enough to pass through the connection block on the bulkhead behind the motor
