scuttle panel drian plug

[Knight Rider]

With winter weather fast approaching now I've been out and removed the scuttle panel plug to stop any problems. If I never put it back in will this cause any hassles in the long run? I think it should stop a build up of gunk in the future and save any hassle. Has anyone else removed and never put it back?

I removed mine a long time ago bud. I'm not even sure if it went in the spares box, think it went straight in the bin.

Sounding good mate, and no more problems for you then? Totally bad design by VX tbh. I also poked an old fish net down the one at driver's side to clear the one sitting at the support for the wiper linkage too. It seemd pretty stuffed before it got cleared. But as yet not water ingress since having it for 4.5 years.

I've kept the rubbers in, but cut all the bottom cone off so there's only a 1cm or so pointing down, nice and wide now...

I put mine in the spares box, the one that get's emptied weekly by the council

So on the face lift is there definitely 2 of them. 1 at the passenger side is in my council box lol the other 1 am i correct in saying if there it's where the support for the linkage is?

I would like to know this....I was under the impression there was only one beside the pollen filter. (I've just chopped the bottom 1" or so off it so the gap at the bottom is wider)

you have one drain by the pollen filter and there is another one the other side by the wiper linkage

make sure thats clear or you get water in the driver footwell

I take it, it is the hole that sits between the support bracket for the linkage?

Just found it I think. Under the honeycomb section more or less underneath the drivers wiper?? How the hell do you get to it to check its clear?
