  1. My model of MX-5 is 2016 ND
  2. I’m based near: London
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on how to clean the windscreen scuttle drain holes. drivers side is blocked and won’t drain. Passenger side is fine…

TIA

Do you mean the little holes in the black plastic scuttle trim? I’d just use a cocktail stick or similar.

Use a fine sowing needle, but don’t drop it down the hole.Usually works for me.

I’ve found needle is best, and it’s usually something like a little seed from the surrounding trees, i’ve pulled the stuff out, but when using a needle, be aware that there’s paintwork underneath the little holes and this is easy to scratch with a needle.

I did a post on enlarging the holes which helps to cure the problem. Try the link: ND Windscreen Scuttle Drain Holes - Blocking? - Technical Area / Body, Interior & Styling - MX-5 Owners Club Forum (mx5oc.co.uk)
