Sunroof draining into car

Oh dear.

I couldn't see any tubes sticking out of the holes in the a-post so I poured some water down the drain holes and it goes straight into the car  :cry:

I can't really see but it looks though there aren't any tubes at all  8O

Can you get replacement tubes? if so, what sort of job is it to fit them.

I've got a beast of a hangover today aswell, not a great day so far

Re: Sunroof draining into car

toad the tubes are there i can assure you of that , they may have slipped into the a post as they only stick out by a couple of mm. the way to locate them is to remove the lower dash panels and relocate them by the hole @ the side of the dash

The tubes could also have slipped off at the sunroof end - depending tho on where the water is leaking in.

Happened on mine anyway but because the metal drain pipe from the sunroof tray had rotten totally and crumbled away! 8O

I seem to remember taking the rear windows out so I could remove the headlining to clear some hoses at the back. If these get blocked the water runs forward and comes out around the sunroof.

Leaky sunroof

I have just found out (or rather the back of my neck did) that my sunroof is leaking in around the back of the panel! I wonder if a good blast from an airline in the drain tubes will work?

Worth trying or its a strip down to find the problem.
