Default Cabrio drains

Been looking all day doing searches but just keep coming up with the drawn diagram that doesn't really show a good pic of drains for the cab top.


Does anyone have specific pics of where the drain holes are...OTHER than that diagram drawing?

Thanks in advance...

Here are some pics and basic instructions. (also the diagrams you referred to, which I find to be helpful.)

Appreciate it. However I am looking for pics for the top half of the car. Where do the drains start? In both Boxsters I could take a flexible (bike brake cable outer piece) and carefully thread all the way down through. I can't find any pics on where these tubes in 996 begin or what and where these "resivoirs" are by the speakers. All I can find are these diagrams and would be great to see people pictures...

Doing this from memory. There are similar plastic tubes. If I recall, they dangle over a drip tray.

If you remove the rear speakers ( just a few screws) you can peek in with a flashlight and see the drip trays. The trough around the clamshell feeds the drip tray.
From the drip tray, the water drains out in the wheel well.

Remove the speaker with 2 x Torx screws and you will see the tray.
Put your fingers in the tray and have a feel around for the exit hole. it's low down and on the outside wall of the tray.

First fill the tray with water, then use a bit of garden hose cut at an angle to wedge against the exit hole then give it a big blow. The water in the tray allows the pressure to clear out the exit.
Keep doing it until you see the water flowing out just in front of the rear wheel.
