TinTop with Sunroof owners - check your orifices.

Yesterday in a heavy downpour I noticed it start raining INSIDE my tintop. Water was dripping down from the rear offside trim panel between the roof lining and the electric blind. I then noticed it was also dripping from the rear offside corner of the sunroof opening.

First chance I had this morning I opened the sunroof and poured a little water down each side of the opening on the nearside it just drained out of the drain tube in the rear wheelarch - on the offside nothing, just a pool of water in the side of the sunroof.

I got a thin piece of tube and used that to blow hard up the drain on the offside and heard a quick "POP" and pulled the tube out of the drain just before a load of dirty water came gushing out. Checked the sunroof opening again and the water was now all gone.

So it's time to give the drains a blow through before you have rain inside the Bongo, as it doesn't take much to block them and if they do block the water can only go inside.

I knew there was a reason I don't like sunroofs................... most of the time

Hi, great tip there - any chance of some pics of where the drain is please?

If you look up in the wheel archs behind the rear wheels you can't miss them - little black rubber cones with a hole in the end. Just find a length of thin tube that will push in or over it and blow through. You can get to the front ones from above much more easily.
