RE: [Peugeot-L] 84 505 sedan leaking

Hi Ken, I had a similar problem with my 87 STI 505. I thought it was some kind of leak under the door seal and went to great lengths trying to seal it. Eventually I discovered the problem was actually water leaking behind the door panel because the plastic sheet stuck to the door didn't cover all the openings in the door frame, if you know what I mean. Perhaps you could take off the door liner and see what state the plastic sheeting is in?  

Cheers

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 84 505 sedan leaking  

My 84 505 STI sedan is taking in water from, it appears, just behind the front door hinge on the driver's side. It looks as if it makes a trail originating near the weather stripping just behind the hinge and, on a good rainy day, makes a considerable puddle on the driver's side floor.

A while back I pulled the speaker panel and, I think, cleaned out the drain hoses and their respective cavity. Is there some other method or trick that I should use to unclog what is clogged?

If someone could email me the specific procedure for cleaning or unclogging the side drain on this 505 I would be very appreciative. I have an air compressor with attachments that fit in most hoses. Thanks,
Ken
