RE: [alfa] Spider Rain Leak



There are two drains on either side of the valence just ahead of the windscreen. This is where the windshield wiper motor and heater air intake is. These two drains run into hoses that drain down through the front fenders and onto the ground. In cars that have been poorly cared for, the drains block up. Water collects and finally rises to the point where the passenger side vents and heater air intakes are. Then, when accelerating hard one day, the water sloshes back and through the vent system and all over the driver and/or passenger. It's also likely the the drain hoses have deteriorated and broken altogether, thus draining into the pax compartment or all over the inner fender rusting it out. To clean out the system you must take the windshield trim off, remove the wipers, and finally the air intake grill at the base of the windshield.
