Default leak in the boot, Tips?

i have researched the thread. After reading this and looking at my boot. I can't spot any noticeable signs where's its coming from. So I guess it's most likely that drain pipes for the soft top that are clogg/blocked.
any one got any tips to unblock these? any one got any specific tool to do this?
Thanks

Search for Boot leak found this extremely helpful post, with photos. https://www.s2ki.com/...st__p__19620919

Or use a coat hanger as suggested by Loftus https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/658...t__p__15008155

Cheers. Never thought of the ariel.

I'd buy a flexible wire brush of ebay and see if that works on the drains plugs.

Wet n Dry vacuum or a small child for the drains, for an hours work I'd defiantly remove the rear bumper and re-seal the vent. I ended up with a hole in my boot floor due to that vent leaking, so I'd make sure you've covered all bases. It's probably also worth stripping out all the boot liner and giving it a clean to remove any start of corrosion and a lick of hammerite to protect it.

Had a similar discovery today. Whilst generally faffing about, changing oil, filters and TCT, fitting HU stalk controller, etc, I remember I was going to check the boot since its been so heavily raining since Xmas.

Alas, it was flooded...



So I've read through the links here and will get to work tomorrow in finding the leak(s). I've actually found a small person to sit in the boot with a torch and watch for leakage!
