Roof Channel Drains

[Princess Doris]

Hi
We are preparing Princess Diana ( 24 plate 6.1 ) in advance of our first big trip of 2026, 12 days in Scotland including the NC500.
I put the tent roof up today and found some dampness on the front tent panel. Further investigation found a little water in the roof channels towards the front, not too much.
I looked for the channel drains and found 2 at the back, one either side, both blocked. Easily unblocked.
I can't find any at the front, yet im sure that there should be. Advice please.
Also during my search, I found 2 small rubber grommets towards the front just sitting loose in each of the channels. See photos.
Does anyone recognise what they are ?
Thanks in advance.
Sam

Another type of search - use the spyglass function top right, to find thousands of posts on roof drains.

The rubber parts come from the roof scissors mechanism.

Happy reading

Rubber bump stops in the scissor system of a pop-top roof of a T6.1 Ocean

Who can help me with photos or a diagram of the rubber bump stops in the scissor system of a pop-top roof of a T6.1 Ocean? I found the rubber bump stops (rubber bump wills) loose in the drainage gutter and don't know where to put them back?

The front drain holes are incorporated into the Rubber grommets that the Hydraulic hoses and wiring loom goes through. The holes are underneath and slightly off center, dont be tempted to push anything down the hole as shortly after exiting the grommet the drain pipe goes into a right angled piece that can be pushed off the pipe. If blocked get a syringe with short bit of tubing and just suck the water and any blocking materials out.
