both come down the A-Pillar and then connect to a rubber tube that emptys out into the front wing inbetween the indecator and the door hinges

Ah, does that mean if i remove the front arch liner then i should be able to see the offending items ??????

nope, if you open the door and look between the gap the door created at the hinges, you will see it, its quite high up, i take it you have a problem with leaking inside the car, if so then you need to gain access by putting the drivers and passenger seats all the way back, then if you reach your arm up where the wing is on the inside of the car you should be able to feel for the tube, it most likely has come out from the rubber tube going through the wing area.

If you use the search function JEFFTT did a write up on how to trace faults with the drain tubes. HTH

help, ive tried searching and cant find Jeff TT 's link, and after spending all weekend injecting the sills, wheelarches,boot interior , and up into the fibreglass spoiler, and underneath of the car with Dinatrol , plus re running the rear drain tubes im dammed if i will leave the front drains unchecked fully

As Vodkashots says and what a bloody crap idea for the sills as they don't have a drain pipe out like the rears currently do.

 

I removed the wheel arch, took the side repeater off, fitted a half inch 90 degree elbow to the existing tube then some (about 16ins) half inch rubber pipe until it sat flush with the top of inner sill, then a half inch to 10mm plastic reducer and just popped it through, water now flows down no probs and out through a hard plastic tube rather than sitting inside the sill area.

yup makes sense that is exactly what i intend to do

Maybe do some pics as you do it and show others mate, cos it really is a bad design!

Sadly i forgot when i did mine and no longer have the car..
