    Don't know how they are on Saxos, as fortunately I haven't had this issue yet, but a compressor in one end seemed to work a treat with my clio. If not, strip some copper cable and poke that down there.

    There's a 'egg shaped' hole in the arch, behind the liner.. they come out through the back there.
