Water not draining from roof

  1. My model of MX-5 is: '21 R-Sport
  2. I’m based near: __ Neath
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __ water not draining from roof.

Hi all. It’s finally a nice day in South Walea, so im out cleaning my car. I used a towel to wipe the morning dew from the roof, and it seems to be pooling in the rear corners of the roof (see attached pic). I have never noticed this before. Is this normal?

It’s probably the angle it’s parked at, do check your drains are clear though. Get your hose or watering can pour around the base of the hood. Park as level as you can and watch for the water draining under the car via the hood drains. It should pour out like a slow running tap, if so no worries they are doing their job.

The ND does this. Pools a bit in the corner, but it’ll slowly recede when you stop.

If you look under the car, to the side of the rear wheeish area, you should see drips coining out as it drains.

Thanks all. Looks to be ok. My drive is at an angle too so this may be a reason. Cheers🫶
