The first rain for weeks resulted in a wet patch on the carpet where the n/s rear seat cushion would be so, between torrential showers, it was off with the back wheel and the arch liner. (I've always trusted this job to my indie previously but at 30 minutes before the weekend it was time to take a brave pill!). There was a good layer of fine wet silt behind the liner and in the outlet of the "official" drain (but no flap valve?) all which was easily washed away triggering a satisfying deluge from the drain.
I took the speaker from the side panel and first of all figured there to be a splash guard atop to water catch tray to protect the speaker. The catch tray itself seemed fairly clear apart from a bit of crud around the drain hole and I could push about a foot-fifteen inches of smallbore silicon tube down through the drain first blowing through it and then squirting water down it to the sight of satisfying drippage under the wheel
arch.
Here's the puzzle though, pouring water in at the water drainage channel 1 in the attached drawing did NOT result in water coming down the black convoluted tube into the water collection tray 3 but seemed instead to result in drainage via another route to the front of the wheel well. That and feeding about four feet of soft silicon tube down the front-most drain didn't bring the tube out in the black convoluted tube as I expected so does all water draining off the sides and back of a MY02 Cab not drain via the pipework shown in the schematic?
I did the wet side only because of another deluge but plan to tackle the other side this weekend/next week.
