How to unblock the drain of Porsche Cayenne 2008

I have a problem with water leaking into the passenger footwell. I have had an Indy check it out and have been informed that this is not an uncommon problem. The problem apperently is the drain hole getting clogged, although there is no obvious way for me to clean these drainholes. suggested that I have the drains cleaned every 12 months,

The front drains clog with leaves/debris over time, nothing you can actively do to prevent the problem - they get blown into the engine bay/drain areas during driving and the problem is especially likely to occur if the car is parked for lengthy periods in leafy areas - sounds corny I know but, that's life - I have the same problem with my guttering at home...

The drains are listed as a service item - to be cleared and inspected - every two years as you rightly said, however, like using a vehicle in dusty conditions requires more frequent air filter changes than recommended, the same advice could be applied.

The drain area holds up to 15 litres of fluid per side, it's not uncommon to get a Cayenne in for service, pull back the arch liners and release the drain blockage and flood the workshop! You can clear them quite easily yourself by lifting the front of the car and peeling back the arch liner behind the suspension strut, the drain exits from the body there and the grommet just gets fouled so the drain retains water.

Not just a Cayenne issue, 9x6, 9x7 - even 924 / 944 have historically had problems just like this.
