Default Body Panel Drains

Anyone have a list of the drains in various body panels on the 928? It rained for a couple days straight here, and when I opened the drivers side, about half a gallon ran out of the front end of the door. Makes me wonder where else I have unwanted liquid sloshing around. Only thing I could find in the manuals was in reference to the sunroof, which I don't have to worry about.

Thanks in advance-
Andrew

Nobody know where these are at, or did I just miss them in the manuals?

Good question Andrew. I need to locate mine on the 86.5 as it sat outside a lot when the PO had it. I spent two days trying to get all the pine needles out of the various places on the car. I just know those drains are clogged. Hell just about every time I wash it I get one or two needles out from under the rear spoiler.

I know there's one you should probably check behind the passenger side front wheel. It drains the cowl area into the space behind the plastic wheel surround, behind the ww fluid reservoir.
