Drivers door aquarium

Postby Davidqhog » Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:09 pm

Morning All,

After the recent heavy rain, I can hear water sloshing around in the driver's door. I presume there should be drain holes or are they fitted with bungs?

TIA.

Hi David,
Mine does this sometimes. Yes there are drain holes at each end of the bottom edge of the door, under the rubber door seal. These can get bunged up with dirt, so with the door open pull down gently on the rubber strip at each end and you will see the holes. The action of pulling down the rubber is normally enough to let the water out, but if not you may need to clear the hole with a cocktail stick or similar.

Brian,

Thanks for the advice. I'll try it later on today. It's very unnerving to suddenly hear water sloshing around!

Ta,

DQ
