Let's see how to clean the rainwater drain on a Fiat Panda 319: open the bonnet and locate the rainwater grille, situated at the base of the windscreen, near the wiper arms. Notice that the area is clogged with leaves, dirt, and debris.

Remove the plastic grille by gently prying with a non-metallic tool to avoid damaging the fixing clips. Lift the grille and set it aside.

Under the grille, you will find a significant amount of stagnant water and a mixture of mud, decomposed leaves, and other debris. The water does not drain because the outlet is completely blocked.

Manually remove the larger debris. Then, use a jet of water to flush away the accumulated dirt.

For stubborn residues, use a brush to clear the underlying drain pipe. Clean the grille thoroughly with soap and water, removing all traces of dirt and debris.

Reposition the clean grille in its place, applying pressure until you hear the clips click into place. Ensure it is secure and aligned.

That's it.
