Post subject:  How can water run down in between the sills

I'm just restoring a 944... this is it at the moment:

And starting to work through the niggles... lots of them... first is leaks. Sill have all been replaced but just did a hose pipe test and i can see the run marks through the door jam vent holes, where the water has run down into the sills. You can see it is dripping from above and running down the inner wheel tubs.

The one side could be from a hole behind the filler cap... is this supposed to be left exposed like this, but doesn't explain this happening on both sides:

I have just replaced the sunroof seal, and cleared and checked the sunroof drain hoses are working... they were not, but are now. Any ideas would be super helpful.

Your car looks good, I think that there should be a pipe to take away spilt fuel in the hole in the filler flap

There is a pipe,

Has a rubber drain Bush in the bottom of the fuel filler should pop out in the bottom of the rear quarter just behind the offside rear wheel

As both chaps said little drain pipe with a seal at the filler neck end missing.

All the bits are available from Porsche at not stupid money

Usually cheaper than 30 year old parts on eBay
