Woah you should get that fixed....

Yup, off to my trusty panelbeater. Elephant trunk is for future prevention.

You've got bigger problems than just not having an elephant trunk mate, you know its a drain, right?

Ari: You mean the blue circled bit? Its hollow on the inside, so thats the drain? I just thought the red circled bit was the draining.

Yeah he means you have bigger problems then just finding the elephant trunk bit lol.

I don't have one and I dont have that - Maybe the water gets trapped behind that sound deadening and the moisture started to rust it..

yea, sound pads are annoying e30ftw. Coz they hold moisture as you said, which inturn, turns into this

Thats not even half the rust i've found. The elephant trunk bit is my last leaking rust. others just surface. Will post my rust crusade in project section later on.

Call for if you need a donor section cut out to patch in. Elephant trunks are free.
