drainage under windscreen

Madmark · 30-10-2015, 11:04

Are there drain plugs or any thing under wind screen as I'm getting water dripping in passenger foot well where fan join pollen filter on my 2002 Terrano

Just thought id ask be for removing scuttle panel

Theres a access plate at the passengerside under the scuttle panel. Needs removing, cleaning and sealing. Heard of it loads of times and my 05 plate had the issue but must of been happening for ages because it ruined the bearings on the blower.
So remove those pesky wiper arms and then the plastic scuttle and you'll see the panel. I lubed the wiper pivots at the same time to stop squeaks.

Nice advice

My heater seems to squeek a little on setting 2 for some reason

Yep similar to mine.

Strange thing is that on my 05 plate truck when the scuttle was lifted the passenger side had the panel but the driverside didn't have a panel. Removed the scuttle on my 99 project truck and that has a panel on the driverside.
Once you remove the passenger side access panel it is open straight into the heater with a small lip around the aperture. I guess another small cost saving by nissan.

Yes great advice, it's the lower left fixing bolt, looking at it from the front, that is the main culprit.
Remove plate, loads of sealant between plate and body, and even more around the screw fixings and a bit on top around the screw heads.

Symptoms are... if you have rubber mats, the water is dripping onto them from above.

Exactly that thankyou will attack it later. God I love forums saves so much agro

jims-terrano · 30-10-2015, 11:50

Nah the agro is removing those wiper arms

Took Bigbunny ages to remove on my 05 plate but my 99 project took seconds

. When I refitted both they got a smear of copper slip on the splines

But yeah these forums are great and have to say of all the forums I'm a member of this one has been the most helpful by far

I found that, but I made a wiper arm remover using a piece of thick steel strip, a vice, and some will like the next bit... a big hammer

, and an M8 bolt and a couple of nuts.
If needed, I can post a pic later.
