Alright - so I am dumb, clearly, because I can't work out what this is for.
Tuscan 2.
On the inside of the door, just forward of the door pocket, on both doors, there is a nice round polished aluminium bezel. Within this bezel is a rotating sphere with a hole drilled top to bottom. It is just the right size to get your finger stuck in frown .

It might seem like a directional air nozzle or something similar, but there is no air coming from it. Instead they have - today - got about 2-3mm of water in them.

Yes, I know it has been raining, but door seals, window seals, etc., are not leaking. There is no dampness anwhere inside, carpets, door trims, seats, etc.

I have searched the user manual, but can find nothing in there.

Can someone please give me a hint as to what these 'nozzles' are for? (I am usually quite good with hints smile.

Thanks

Ahah! Thanks.
Now that is a pretty classy ashtray.
Hmmm, not sure how it got water in though - investigation needed!
So, I now need to find a grey plastic plug to fit it.

Hmmm. Car has a grey Interior.
Soooo if I start smoking and leave ash in the ashtray, when we get heavy rain, will I have a ready made scratch cover paste for the interior trim?
It would save a trip to the upholsterer biggrin
