Not stupid at all, the one facing downwards is the inner wind drain tube, these some times have a small flap on them too, if so snip it off as well I have just started to add the photo's to the thread again today check out page one

So I tried removing the arch wheel liner last night but panicked as I wasn't confident with what I was doing so I put it back.
HOw much should be peeled back exactly? I was worried I was going to take too much off and not be able to put it back. I probably got 3/4 of it off but still could peel it back enough to see anything. |

It sounds like you are peeling the wheel arch liner back enough, sometimes it's better if you jack the car up and remove the front wheel, even then you need to look up at an angle to see the tube as in the photo below, hope this helps, don't worry pull with vigour 1 2 3 4

ducks bills cut off
Gentlemen.
Many thanks to all who have posted help in this thread. Today I have snipped of the ends of the rear sunroof drains on my tourer and rodded them through. One had water in it the other seemed to have accumulated muck but was dry. Hope not to have to disembowel the load space; a wet test when I get t outside will show. Did the first of the front ones some time ago, it was detached in the drivers side foot well, the passenger side I did a few days ago after finding water on the mat at the front; could be that the gutter around the roof was overwhelmed and overflowed. It was parked at the garage for an MOT and their car park is on a slope. |

Front drain bulkhead grommets
This has been a great thread and saved me hours of grief sorting out my wet floors, so thanks.
I did the white nylon connector mod a some while ago now which worked a treat but I have now found soaking n/s floors again. It turned out to be the bulkhead grommet/socket has perished on the outside of the bulkhead enough to allow water to soak back into the interior and needs replacing. Question is does anyone if these items are available anywhere as Rimmers don't have them anymore. Or perhaps there's an alternative from another model? Thanks for any advice folks. |

Just use a standard grommet and extend the pipe through the bulkhead
Certain brands of standard hose pipe fit perfectly 100mm length
