man I love that Carbon Fiber Gauge hood, looks excellent!!
I assume you pulled the drain tube. Another way is through the open seatbelt tower; you can reach back and feel the outer sill panel; the key area to hit is the space between the outer wing and the outer sill panel, because this area is not drained at all; the rest of the sill is well drained and ventilated. Also get the rear wheel arch area, through the boot. The Bilthamber dripping from your car has just gone through an area that doesn't really need to be waxed; its already well ventilated. The issue is the built up of condensate in the non-drained areas (ie a design flaw), which is made worse when the wheel arch seam fails,
Yep pulled the drain tubes and your right about the outer panel, there is quite a bit of room to have a reach about in there with the side/seat belt trims removed.
There is some comprehensive thread knocking about with the cill / rear quarter section cut open and dissected, So you know just were you are getting into.
I'm pretty confident i have gotten into the prone areas and maybe gone a bit OTT in the not so prone parts.
To be honest I don't think it will ever be a problem why I own the car, just by keeping on top of maintenance jobs etc to prevent these problems. Ive had roadsters before were the cill is actually full of water to the point were it's sloshing about, this is down to poor maintenance (by previous owners) not clearing the drainage points etc.
another little find I came across arrived this week! Again it was one of those items that i never intended to swap out.
As the Brace that came on the car was a nice addition that fitted in, and was found to be (Thanks to the help full folks on here)
a 'Burning' Strut tower brace as advertised in hyper rev.:shrug:
This one however is most defiantly identifiable as a pit crew brace:mrgreen:

Needs a bit of a clean up but what you expect for something that "could be" knocking on for 20 years + old
You are awesome pit crew owner!)
