How to remove scuttle drain??

VolvoRob38 · Jan 13th, 2024, 17:50

Hi all,

I've had a water leak under my carpets, C30 '09 1.6d, absolutely swimming in passenger footwell, front and back. I think this was due to the seals around the windscreen being shot, as I did a temp fix with black silicon and seems to have stopped the leak. Removed the seats and all the carpets etc. and Im almost dry ready to put back...

But I want to double check the drainage holes aren't blocked below the windscreen, I believe its called the scuttle drain? as I can see a build up of mud and leaves in there. I dont use the car often enough and so just sits there in all weather, slightly leaning towards the nearside, which is where the leak was.

I think I first remove the wipers, then not sure how to remove the plastic clips holding on the plastic cover at the bottom of the windscreen. Can anyone help please?

TIA

Most of what you need should be here.
