How can I stop them from falling out? - Page 3

I put the inspection camera into the front nearside sill through the jacking pad hole and all looked fine inside.

I put the replacement jacking pad in using Ceedy's method, but with the pieces of tubing vertical. It snapped in with a very satisfying loud click.

The rear offside has some soft dirt inside and I scraped some out with a finger.

If I put a hose through the hole to clean it out, is the water likely to leak through somewhere and soak the carpet?

From the front, I could see quite a way back along the inside of the nearside sill, but in the rear offside jacking pad hole it appeared to be a small boxed in section. Does the rear of the sill actually have a boxed in section (it feels pretty solid), or is it my imagination?

Cheers,
Fifer

I have tried to flush it out from the front pad hole with a hose but it leaked seriously into the front footwell !

Ouch. Thanks for the heads-up. I won't be trying that now.
