Hood Drain Cleaning Brush All MX5 Models Reviews

4.8 Rating 28 Reviews
Read MX5parts Reviews

These great quality flexible brushes are the perfect solution for cleaning those blocked hood drains, one of the biggest cause of water ingress into the cabin. These are actually trombone cleaning brushes (no, we're not kidding!) but are well known on many of the forums to be ideal for getting the muck out of the drains. There are many online guides which we recommend you follow if you are doing this yourself as there is the potential to damage parts of the hood drain system. The Mk1 & Mk2 drains are easy to find as they are just behind the seat belt towers under the carpet. The Mk3 is a little more tricky so click here for an excellent guide on how to do it.Suitable for use on all MX5 models, 1989>Please Note: Forcing the brush down the drains too hard has the potential to damage the flap inside, or push the bottom off the drain tube, as does pulling the brush back out through the top. The best way to do it is to push the brush through carefully and pull it out of the bottom of the car. MX5Parts accept no responsibility for any damage caused using this brush.

Does what it says. Really well I might add. One thing I will point out is that the build up in the drain holes was fairly bad on mine and required a little agitation with an allen key from below. Well worth the money and with a little hot water afterwards will leave the drain holes spotless.

Not of any use for RF. Not really "compatible with all models" as stated.

An absolute must for cleaning out the internal drain tubes on my NC. An absolute pain in the butt trying to locate the entry points inside the car but it's necessary to prevent wet carpets.......

Brilliant. Easy to use, a bit fiddly to find the drain holes the first time but easier than removing half a gallon water from your car due to blocked drainholes.

Ordered Monday afternoon, arrived Tuesday morning! Now that's better than good. It's a bit fiddly to use but that is not a product fault, you just need to learn the method. Also good for getting the cheese from between your toes.... too rough for the other place.

It works well. I'm for the gear stick and you'll be fine. If it gets stuck and you're in the right place then persevere... On one side it would not budge and kept coiling up. So I wiggled and twisted and re-inserted a few times (I hadn't reached the flap of no return). Each time more leaves and mud came out. It still wouldn't shift so I poured some water into the tray (which didn't drain) and wiggled it again. Eventually this softened the muck and it cleared
