Volvo XC70 MY2013 windscreen and bonnet drainage

Drumkit · Feb 7th, 2014, 19:39

Tried to find info on this without success:

Drove all day yesterday in heavy rain and this morning found quite deep water in Channels" near each inner front wing just underneath the bonnet - running from the bonnet / hood struts to near the back of the headlight (which like many folk's contain some water)

Looks to me like these channels are intended to take run-off from the screen and bonnet towards the front? - but can easily block with leaves...

Took both headlights out and rodded out some debris from these channels - but can't help thinking that drainage may splash the back of the headlights?

Should water be draining vertically maybe?

Interested in anyone else's thoughts and views on this.

...... Apologies if it's been raised before - I tried searching first!

Would try the XC70 section.

Yep - wrong forum. Sorry!

If I knew how, I'd delete it....
