I. Putting Drain Holes In Door Pockets

Customers may complain that the door pockets on their Convertible fill with water during a hard rain, when the vehicle is left parked in rain or if the windows are left slightly open. To rectify this complaint, drill drain holes in door pockets as indicated below.

Cars Affected:

All 1995 900 Convertibles

Parts:

Tape (4 per car) 46 65 840
1/4" (6 mm) drill bit
1/4" (6 mm) punch pliers

Action:

1. Remove the door panel.





2. Undo the screw in the bottom of the door pocket. Pry out the pocket and mark the positions of the holes that are to be drilled. Use the mold joint as a center line. See Figure 15.

3. Drill holes where marked. Do not drill too deep as this could leave ugly marks in the pocket. Remove all plastic pieces from the pocket.

4. Fold the tape and place it as shown. The fold is to guide the water out through the hole in the seal and prevent water from running along to the front or rear of the door panel. See Figure 15.
