The rear holes are in roughly the same arrangement, but exiting rearward, of course. Both front & rear have transitions to soft tubing shortly beyond the metal tube exit from the "moat" that gathers the water. They COULD be blown off if clogged further down. You'd then need to remove the headliner to access the spots to reattach. I recently pushed a piece of wire down each of mine; I encountered firm resistance in two of them, but was able to wiggle the wire on through, opening the lines again. I haven't seen any puddles since (knock wood!). I had the ... ummm, advantage? of no headliner, so I could see what I was doing, on my '89. I did the same to my '87 to make sure it wasn't clogged anywhere. Ron '89 with no sagging headliner!

If I am not mistaken, if you slide the roof back, you will see the two front drain holes in the two front corners of the sliding track. I assume using the air hose and forcing air down into the holes would clear any debris from the two front drains. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Ingram [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 8:54 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; Matthew Yip Subject: Re: [WWW.GLIREALM.COM] Re: [a2-16v-list] When it rains, it pours.... Usa a air hose at the gas station and access the drain tubes from the trunk of the car and that should take care of the rear drain, i think the front exits by the A pillar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Frank" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "Matthew Yip" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 3:13 AM Subject: [WWW.GLIREALM.COM] Re: [a2-16v-list] When it rains, it pours.... > i know its a pain, but you should check the sun roof drains, if they arent > hooked up properly, youll get a nice lake in your car, when i had my heater > core replaced in my 89 GLi, the idiots at the shop didnt remember to hook > the sunroof drain hoses back up and so it just drained into my car. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Matthew Yip" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 7:37 PM > Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] When it rains, it pours.... > > > > Door seals? > > > > --- [email protected] wrote: > > > ...inside my car. :-/ Every time it rains, the floor in the > > > backseat of my '88 GLI floods.
