[Aluco]

Do you mean the drainage holes underneath your door ?

 

[mtclio172]

yeah on the sills.
for sum reason they get blocked up with grit and s**t then my carpits get flooded

 

[Addz]

i've never heard of anyone having to clean them out or maintain them to be honest :S

 

[theduck]

What Addz said tbh

 

[iimushroomzii]

I've heard of people having to clean em out but only on odd occasions! Not all the time though lol

Never in 4 years of ownership, it's not garaged either!

 

[marinemackay2003]

I wonder if the car was flood damaged in its past? That could explain why there is grit inside blocking it all the time. I remember when I was looking for a 172 and came across one that had rust stains on the side skirts (amongst other issues) I didn't stay there long lol

 

[mickstoke]

it should be water tight. must be a gromit out somewhere or break in the sealing

 

[Djw John]

Yeah defo not a normal issue!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

never needed to clean them out!

 

[hughski]

never thank god!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Never here either.

 

[adam24]

might be worth getting a garage to take a look if your having to empty your sills when it rains mate. deffo not normal

 

[Aluco]

Take your door cards off and have a look inside the doors, you will be able to see if they are mega clogged on the inside, if they are then they will keep blocking.
