Maybe that's what I'm thinking of - I had this issue a while ago & my 
memory is rusty (unlike the car!). What I do remember, however, is that 
water is free to pour in through the grille and there are holes at the 
bottom somewhere to let it escape freely again. I thought these holes 
were in the rockers - obviously that is incorrect. The point is that the 
drain holes have to be kept clear - just like the drain hole under the 
fuel filler cap.
