Little plastic pipe under windscreen

[chriswilliams]

There are two little plastic pipes under the windscreens on either side. They are presimably drains, but where do they come from?
One has snapped off and needs replacing, but they are not easy to get to.
Anyone replaced them? It so how?

Hi chris. What series is your Sud ?? On S3 The pipes come from the lower corners of the screen. Theres a hole with a small plastic insert that goes in before the screen and the pipe pushes on to it. Hopefully it’ll just be the pipe that’s failed not the insert

Great picture. I now understand what they are for. Since I still have the windscreen in, it was not obvious where they went!

Thanks for the help.

If the pipe is not in I wouldn’t worry too much but what happens when people have to repair that area they don’t reinstate the holes and water sits there
And causes the screen surround to rot
