Headlight bucket drains..., Go out and clean them NOW! Options

[si2t3m]

Well, that's one of those things you forget after a couple of year of 914 ownership.

Last week i noticed that i had a spot of water on the ground under the left side headlight. I felt into the drain tube and i was a wee bit wet. Ok it had rained the day before.

During lunch, i noticed again a spot of water on the ground... Last rainfall was saturday. I start poking around, in the tube, then I find a small branch, i'm now laying in front of the car in the office parking lot.

Humm, seems clogged... Poke, poke poke and all of a sudden, it start pouring all over the place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pain30.gif) (remember i'm still laying in front of the car). It seemed like at least a liter of water was stuck in the bucket under the light.

Soo, good new is that it's not clogged anymore. Bad news is that i'm wet and was the laught of the day at the office... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Lucky for me, no rust in or under the light buckets.

If you didn't check them lately, Please take the 2 minutes it takes to fish those big drain holes out. You might be in for a suprise!

Thanks for giving me the push I need to do this. I always say I'll check the next time I wash it. At least this is one job that won't cause the teener to be on jackstands for weeks!
