Looking on here and on YouTube didn't get the results I'm looking for. All have said to just stick a coat hanger down the drain holes and careful not to puncture the rubber tubes. I tried that but couldn't clear the holes. There is still a puddle on water on the left side and acorns and leaves on the right side but I can't get the coat hanger to go down very far, maybe a couple of inches at most and that still doesn't get the water to drain out. What have you done to clear the drains besides the coat hanger method that worked for you?

 

Didn't have much luck with coat hanger either. It was too rigid to conform to the shape of the drains.

Bought this - https://www.mx5parts.co.uk/hood-drai...ls-p-3511.html. Pour some hot water, then slowly thread it through. It's long/flexible enough for you to pull it out from the other end (in front of rear wheels). Works like a charm.

Looks like it might. Thanks.

 

Where are the drains located? I still own a PRHT MX5 and never had to worry about this issue. Cheers.

 

Sorry, haven't been on here in a while.The drains are only visible with the top down. They're right around those brushes behind the door jamb. You need a flashlight to see them but they look like little black square funnels.

 

Hi Warren,
Let me suggest you use something not as stiff as a coat hanger, like a piece of soft copper wire, which will bend much more easily without destroying the rubber tubes.
I won't comment on what coat hangers are typically used for.
