Drainage

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the right windscreen apron (black plastic at rear of bonnet and in front of windscreen) is supposed to have a drainage hole? I can see a hole and when it rains or I wash the car water just collects in the curve of the apron.

Thanks

Mine has a hole but it doesn't do much good, water still collects there.

Mine has a drain hole as well, and unless I ream it out every so often water will collect.
I just use a piece of wire, and poke it in the hole till it drains.

Ditto what Grovedale said. The hole could be a little larger, in my opinion. It clogs pretty easily. I've poked stuff out of that drain several times.
