→ Fig.1    Drip channel on condensation drain

• ◆ A drip channel -A- is provided at the condensation drain (this prevents the condensation water from running back into the foam seal -B-).

Note:

No drip channel is provided on the condensation drain on right-hand drive vehicles, these vehicles should always be fitted with a grommet => Page 87-52.

• ◆ → If the drip channel has become detached:
• ‒ Attach a grommet -D- as shown in the diagram.
• ‒ Seal the grommet to the drain pipe with sealing compound, e.g. D 176 404 A2.
